Dueling Fools

July 25, 2001

Six months ago, we took to buttoned-down genes by putting Human Genome Sciences (Nasdaq: HGSI) under the Foolish microscope. Biotech star or weird science? Paul Commins (TMF Buster) had the Bull's take while David Langford presented the Bearish treatise. Our Voting Fools sided with David's pessimistic take.

While the stock continued to lend itself to wild gyrations, six months later, it had fallen by 22%.

Victory? David and our Voting Fools. Congrats!
