I think if they are we would all be buying Drug Company stocks. >> Please allow just a minor comment to a very reasoned analysis: It seems to me that any potential for monopoly generated profits is already factored into the present companies stock prices--including reduced profits that would follow from any possible changes in patent laws. However, the price of stocks in new drug companies may not be fully valued (I doubt it--there are too many optimists around) in relation to their potential monopoly profits. A better investment to get your hands on some of that money would be a trial lawyer's education. If it is too late for that then go for a political position where very generous trial lawyers "contributions" can help with your expenses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
