    Nice to see that Myriad is going stronger, and really hope that the Azixa will be a blockbuster too. And remeber the small company involved in Azixa. Epicept EPCT, quoted on nasdaq and OMX stockholm, tot cap. 35-40 mUSD, will be a very nice investment since the just got OK, for Ceplene in Europe. Reply

    Will Myriad Genetics Keep Its Momentum? [view article]
    I am a bit confused as well -- if they have no drugs that are near production how do they "have a fairly solid stream of revenues from their current drugs"? Their stream of revenue comes from genetic testing -- not current drugs. It is difficult to agree with your position when you do not even have basic knowledge on the companies operations. Reply

    Do you know anything about Myriad?

    You said "Myriad does have a fairly solid stream of revenues from their current drugs" .... THEY DO NOT HAVE A DRUG ON THE MARKET OR GET ROYALTIES ON A DRUG - they sell diagnostics

    YOU SAID "One possible issue that I see for Myriad based solely upon my knowledge of market psychology is that its stock price is very close to its 52 week high" ...WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THEY ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH not a "52-Week High".

    THIS IS ALL ABOUT AN UGLY SHORT-SQUEEZE on mid-tier diagonostics company with a pipeline for a teazer.

    Myriad Genetics: Another Alzheimer's Compound Goes Down [view article]
    why is bad news - discontinuation of drug in development - positive? save money that would have been spend to take the drug to next level and eventually onto the market?

    or is it investors knew before that the potential drug would not make it to the market or be a flop - hence have already factored this as low price. instead a small profit of 750 mio for phase 3 trials for +2 billion company

    Being right or making money. On May 13th (when you told us so) the stock closed at $41.25. After the negative news it never broke below $45. How exactly did you make money on this put trade again? And you doubt the rationale that they will be profitable in FY09? They are roughly break even right now and have substantial net outstanding losses. The diagnostics business is hugely profitable (45% operating margins when not spending on their DTC campaign, 40% when they are) and growing rapidly. When you have sustainable revenue, cut spending on dead programs and pay no taxes, that falls to the bottom line. $60mm/45mm shares = $1.33 from cutting that program alone. Nothing in their pipeline warrants a trial near the scale that they undertook with Flurizan - that spend level is not coming back. Stick with collecting degrees, Doc. Maybe try English next - one datum leads but many data lead. Reply

    In investing, you have to go where the data leads you. The stock did not do as poorly as I thought when the results came out - so my target for going long went up from the twenties to the upper forties. Regarding my call - I don't recall saying I was brave. But at least braver than anonymous posters who hide behind pseudonyms. Reply

    Ketan--NOW is the time to go long??? Nonsense, you could have bought the stock in the low '40's the week prior to announcement and owned the diagnostic business with a FREE option on Flurizan. The "call" on the P3 results was hardly brave as it was widely reported and expected to fail given prior results. Why on earth is now the time to buy it? What happened to "I will go long when it hits $25"... Reply

    Forgot to ask: What was the break-even on your puts? The stock surged after the incredibly short-sighted shorts had to cover. Hedgies and banks probably manufactured half of that. Look at the longs...they get it. Reply
