Dendreon: Provenge's Shortcomings Have the Shorts Coming

It amazes me that your article is so casually inaccurate. It is one thing to short DNDN 15071 shares with play money, it is entirely different using REAL money. If you wish to play around with biotech stocks you should at least try to understand a basic concept. ".....Dendreon Corporation is a biotechnology company that spends all its time trying to development and make a business out of therapeutics (a.k.a. chemicals)...". Dendreon is not developing "chemicals". Biologics are manufactured using living organisms and are far more complex than most small molecule chemical drugs. Dendritic cells are harvested from a patient in order to be used in creating a vaccine that stimulates the immune system to attack the cancer. That is why it is called immunotherapy.
