I again have same request as I saw some activity on options page for Nektar.  NKTR

Currently my request is for May 2007 options and forward.

Can any maestro  here give me an opinion of what options are trending ( Bullish or bearish) in various time frames.

Example: For Jan 08 it has 35.00 interest open too. Does that mean, the stock will rise to 35.00 in Jan 08?

Thanks,

Posting the updated chart.

Today's movement and AH news release

Claude Resources Inc. reports bulk sampling progress
Monday February 26, 5:06 pm ET

Toronto Stock Exchange Trading symbol - CRJ AMEX - CGR
SASKATOON, Feb. 26 /CNW Telbec/ - Claude Resources Inc. is pleased to provide an update on its Santoy 7 and Porky Lake bulk sample projects, both of which are "satellite" deposits to the Seabee gold mine in Saskatchewan, Canada.
The Santoy 7 project is located 11 kilometres (7 miles) east of Claude's Seabee gold mill and is accessible by an all-weather road from the Seabee mine site.

Ramp access has been developed and as of February 26, 2007, 45 rounds (135 metres) of ore have been extracted from the mineralized structure 40 metres below surface. Multiple samples (chips and mucks) are collected and assayed after each round. The samples collected to date indicate an estimated grade of 12.62 grams per tonne (0.41 ounces per tonne) with a "top cut" of 48.2 grams per tonne. Without "cutting", average grade is 13.6 grams per tonne (0.44 ounces per tonne). Samples were assayed by Claude Resources' assay lab at the Seabee mine site (not accredited). Check assays are conducted at site as well as at TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon and results are consistent with those reported.

Claude Resources previously reported a 43-101 compliant resource calculation in the March 1, 2006 press release "Claude Resources Plans Major Drill Program in 2006", and is available on the Company's website at www.clauderesources.com. That report identified a resource of 200,000 tonnes at 8.50 grams per tonne (0.27 ounces per tonne) at Santoy 7.

Up to 15,000 tonnes will be milled from Santoy 7 by the second quarter of 2007. Subject to positive bulk sample results and successful mine permitting, Santoy 7 ore may contribute to Seabee mine production in the second half of 2007. The Company is currently diamond drilling a further 40 exploration holes at Santoy 7 to better define a geological model and to expand the resource.

The Porky west project located 6.8 kilometres (4 miles) from the Seabee mill has had some preliminary bulk sampling work done as well. A decline was driven to access the top, lower grade portion of Porky west on both the 45 metres and 65 metre levels. Approximately 4,500 tonnes were mined from the 45 metre level at 3.76 grams per tonne (0.12 ounces per tonne) and about 2,500 tonnes were mined from the 65 metre level at 5.61 grams per tonne (0.18 ounces per tonne). A total of 7,500 tonnes were processed in the mill at 3.69 grams per tonne (0.12 ounces per tonne) with a 95.5% recovery rate. The discrepancy between mined grade and milled grade is a result of inadvertent dilution from low grade waste piles.

A 43-101 compliant resource on Porky west was also reported in the March 1, 2006 press release and identified 220,000 tonnes at 5.95 grams per tonne (0.19 ounces per tonne) in the resource category.

Additional bulk sampling will be performed on Porky west from the 65 metre level and below where previous diamond drilling indicated grade improving with depth. Timing of additional bulk sampling will be dependant on Porky west's merits relative to Santoy 7, Santoy 8 and the newest exploration project at Don's Lake, 5 kilometres (3 miles) east of the Seabee mill.

The Santoy 7, Santoy 8, Porky Lake and Don's Lake exploration programs are under the direction of qualified person Judy Stoeterau, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration of Claude.

Claude Resources has three surface drills currently operating at Seabee with a Cdn. $5.2 million exploration budget.

Claude Resources Inc.'s focus is gold exploration and mining. In addition to Claude's Seabee gold mine the Company owns the Madsen exploration project in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada, a 10,000 acre property with a mill, shaft and permitted tailings facilities. The Company also owns oil and gas assets producing about 500 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The Company has 76.3 million common shares outstanding (82.0 million fully diluted) and is listed on the Toronto and American Stock Exchanges (TSX - CRJ; AMEX - CGR).

My 2 cents:

I work in semis...
No technical jargon.

AMD is behind until it launches Barcelona processor this year and again takes lead for next 1 year.. Technically, whatever 3SoF community says about the stock price is correct. Its all relative when you want to enter into the stock. ( Before launch or lot earlier than launch or after the launch)..

The tie-ups with OEMs will start working better too...

I expected it to be in 50's by 2h07 and split at 100 in 2008 and then at 100 in 2009 and 2H09 another split...

Its called day dreaming...

I hate myself to sell AMT (1.80 purchase and sell at 2.50 in 2003) and ERICY, RHAT another one ( purchase in 2003 and sell in 2004).. Look at these...

Why patience and impatience both dont pay...

Good luck

Nektar is company with 400 million cash.

The company has partnership with Pfizer for exubera inhalable insulin ( which you must have heard everywhere).

It was approved last year and Pfizer hasnt been pushing it too much but maintains it to be their future blockbuster. They are doing training and education but not fast ramp up. Nektar's future lies with success of this drug to be viable and then other drugs in pipeline to be hit... Its one hit wonder which can skyrocket it and keep it there for further launches but hasnt until now...

Hi,
I am invested currently in many stocks and one of them is NKTR. As I fully comprehend stock prices and evaluation with technicals, I am trying to understand options.

for starter like me, can anyone explain what does puts and calls for NKTR say short term and long term for its stock price trend. Its the most weird stock I have owned.

Thanks,
Dhiraj

Please see the attached graph for movement and a question for the community to answer?

Thanks,
