They came out with a drug that people are saying may prevent HIV/Aids. They are also the company that invented Tamiflu.

Their stock is up from 30 to over 60 in the last 12 months. This seems like a no-brainer. Anyone know anything about them?

Man, I just don't understand why it hasn't gone apeshit.

Tamiflu is the only known drug to stop bird flu and now they have two existing drugs that can be used to prevent Aids. They don't even have to spend anything on research and development. Fuck, where is the gamble? I just don't get it.

Fuck, what difference does it make. These are both "preventative" drugs. People will by three if they need one. Hide two in the medicine cabinet. Every third world person alive on the planet will be treated. These governments will be buying this shit faster they can stuff a ball of cotton in the top of the bottles.

Same thing with Tamiflu. If it could be produced fast enough, the US would probably buy 20 million doses or more. Just to have on hand.

I just don't see the downside.

I've got three brokerage accounts. I have never started an online account. I'd like to have one online, but I kind of like a little bit of distance between myself and the trigger.

I might have to go back to new orleans then cause last time I was there I was walking the tracks from the FQ to the river walk and got jumped by a crackhead. I ended up beating him in the head with a rock.
