Chart of the Day -- Genzyme, Weekly Chart

GENZ is within striking distance of its all-time closing high of $61. GENZ currently has a 5.63% weighting in the BBH (Biotech HOLDR), which is one of the sectors of the market I follow closely and currently favor.

I Wouldn't Buy That for a Dollar

TheStreet.com is exploring strategic options:

"Financial news Web site TheStreet.com Inc. Wednesday said it hired New York investment bank Allen & Co. to consider 'strategic alternatives' for the company ... The move comes two months after San Francisco-based MarketWatch Inc., another online provider of business news and information, agreed to be acquired by Dow Jones & Co. for $519 million in cash."

I'm still stunned that Dow Jones agreed to pay that much for MKTW. Clearly they didn't have "Uncle Morty" negotiating on their behalf. TheStreet.com currently has a market cap around $100 million. Uncle Morty would begin the bidding around one-fifth of that amount.

Dilbert: So it works?
