    Randal Kirk certainly has an interesting middle name.
    Must be a family name.

    yeah some of these buys are funny.

    Robert Forester 1k shares at $7.62. Come on. lol

    Those Baker Brothers, on the other hand, are swinging a very large stick. $15mil on ACAD. Now that’s weight.

    I keep considering biotech investments but haven’t taken the plunge yet – still seems rather risky.
