I made money on it before when it was bouncing around under $5.00 I don't think it makes much difference if you got in early or more recently. You are still going to make money on this one, IMHO.Some of the fever on this one will boil off in a few days
The market is entirely emotional, and when people see profits slipping away they do a trigger pull reaction and sell to preserve profits. So it will retrace as it has before, stabilize, then go up again. Patience will pay off on this one. All this is just IMHO.

Hi Tommy,

Deal fail to close due to various reasons. I am sure whichever company that did not reach the deal must be kicking itself right now. We all know how long it takes competition from pre-clinical to phase I/II/III.

Let's look at the institutional ownership, I checked at couple of days ago which was 47.2%, today it stands 49%, about 7% increase from a couple of weeks ago.

I am a VPHM long - today was very disappointing.  This same thing happened last August. The stock's fundamentals are soooo strong.  Why isn't it going up ?

[SmartWrasse]

It probably was the article listed above that caused the selling.  I also agree that it will be years before a generic will be produced.  The sell of is an over-reaction, but that is the market.

[SmartWrasse]

Unreal how easy it is to screw stock holders.  50 dma is around 19, right? 

Now I will have to watch closely one of the few stocks I thought I could hold.

Chart shows lots of support this am.

[ncham]

wow. i dont think anyone expected this.

over reaction IMO 

any feedback from TA experts?
