Not that it matters yet, I would like to see a Fibromyalgia study done with Vascepa.
My brother is a Vietnam Vet who suffered a spinal injury late 80’s. He has Fibromyalgia and so uses Cannabis to help him with the pain.
I think Vascepa would help him. He’s not a pill pusher, but I think if he’d take Vascepa if it’s prescribed.
Vascepa is good for inflammation, it might just work for people with this condition.
jasbg: You as well, going out tomorrow to get the garden prepared for Spring. Tomatoes and chili's and potatoes oh my....
Wow! I wonder who the "knowledgeable people" are? Someone else like ZACKS perhaps?
I believe we have knowledgeable people right here, as good as anyplace really. Unless there's insider knowledge people giving out free advice to strangers?
Me thinks Pdude has been out in the sun too long? NASDAQ is down, traders are taking profits, nothing material has changed with Amarin, same old, same old....it's got nothing to do with the Proxy voting. Geesh....!!!!
And obviously, you don't have a problem with Per Wold Olsen (part-time COB) the do nothing, fleecing shareholders either? Incredible.
Too funny, I tell my wife it's 12 inches..... :D). In your example, that would be 18 Barley corns. Night of the long schlong......
jasbg: I'd sold @ $18 the week before ADCOM #2, I was trying to play the market swing and get more shares before the ADCOM.
Well, unfortunately for me I was out of Amarin when the shares hit $26 and ADCOM had approved Vascepa. I didn't want to chase a runaway train. So, I put a lot of my "winnings" into ROKU and some others. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, I really shouldn't be trading stocks, I did very well on some and make terrible trades on others. Well, needless to say I'd purchased 10,000 shares of ROKU and it proceeded to go to $400. That was the good part. I did take profits, but the bad part was I didn't take enough money off the table at the right time. Post 2020 election. I had no clue what was about to hit us.
I'm doing okay, I'm just down like 80% since 2020, thanks to President Dementia. So, go easy on Pdude, he made a good call, now he's basking in the sun at Punta Cana. I wouldn't discount his trade at all. He's probably telling the truth. Still, I agree with you, I don't understand the man's logic.
I voted BLUE all the way....GO BLUE
tal: it would be nice to break things down monetarily for us across the pond. 240 pence = 1 pound. Thank god the dollar system is like the metric system, much easier to understand.
King Henry must have been counting nose hairs when he made up the rules on the English monetary system. 20 nose hairs = 1 pence, hence, I pick my nose for twelve days and then we'll declare it 1 pound Sterling. Just like three (3) barley corns laid end to end is 1 inch. Now isn't that scientific? What if I applied more fertilizer one year and my barley corns grew twice the size? An inch would become 2 inches.
qq: It depends upon the acquiring company's cash position. Novartis (Yahoo) says it has $18.73B in cash. More than enough to acquire us using cash. But, if they needed their cash for expansion and marketing, then @ $83 per share they could issue 73 million shares (approx. $6B) a virtual drop (not really) in the bucket to their outstanding 2.12Bshares. A 3.4% dilution. I can definitely see your point. However.....
Novartis would then be in the drivers seat in the Cardiovascular arena.
If it were me I'd accept cash and shares and call it good. Novartis pays a 4% dividend. I'd be a happy clam for sure.
BTW, $6B gets us approx. a $15 buyout price, within my range for sure.
Ahhhh, a line from “Knights Tale” a Heath Ledger movie. I really liked the Chaucer character.
I wouldn’t doubt that he’s someplace warm. Cruise ships are packed this time of year. Plus resorts in warmer areas. I would imagine that winters get really long and cold in Canada…Aye Hoser? : D)
Pdude and Tat; Understand the apples and oranges principle that because of the current price, insurance companies dictate. It not always going to remain that way. Someday (in the future) however, EPA will become more affordable, it has to or go by the way of the Dodo. With plant based and or algae based Omega 3, there's no doubt in my mind that producing high purity EPA is possible. Maintaining the edge in purity is key.
Let me illustrate; How much time, resources and energy did it take in WWII to produce enough Uranium U235 to make the first Atom bomb? A lot.... Now U235 is mass produced in sufficient quantities to support hundreds of Nuke Plants (tons @ 3% enrichment), plus Naval ships (90%+ enrichment). Now, that's apples and oranges.
The least anyone can do Denner included is to promote V as the Gold standard and pinpoint the differences between V vs gV. This isn't being promoted at all. Then again maybe not, maybe Denner doesn't care about that? I think Denners first priority is to rectify the EU acceptance and work out a deal to where it makes it easier for the EU countries to reimburse for V. Find ways to reduce the Cost of Goods sold and still maintain the quality.
thanks for both of your responses.
Robin; I’ve said this before, but certain posters won’t agree with me. Vascepa “Brand” does have a place in the US market.
I’ve used the illustration of Tylenol ( Advil, etc.) vs Generics as an example. Brand Tylenol (and a consortium) outsells Generic Tylenol head to head. And no, there’s no reason why in the right hands that Vascepa couldn’t compete in the EPA market. Vascepa is the “Gold Standard.” They will come…People will pay Ray Kinsella.
Wow, another brilliant statement. You don’t make your one and only drug (product) a “Loss Leader.” Now, the Art of negotiating, there-in lies the key. Since the lowly shareholders aren’t privy to these negotiations, we’ll never know what was said to whom? Or what Amarin countered with?
Have you read Denner’s slides? I don’t believe under his leadership that Germany is dead by any means. Amarin on the other hand took its ball and went home. End of negotiations???
There’s a good book titled; “The Art Of Negotitions.” Obviously, Karim and company never read it.
Like going into a courtroom, attorneys have to be prepared for anything. Conversely a good negotiator has to be prepared for anything.
Yes, my broker provided emails for each account. When I opened each they confirmed that I had voted.
Rose; ProxyVote.com hadn’t recorded two of my accounts for the previous BLUE Card vote (1st time). Only when E*Trade had sent out voting reminders did I realize, that these accounts (shares) hadn’t been tabulated. I’m glad I had electronic notifications and verifications setup.
Yes, I called them directly, I was redirected to another department. I had to call twice because the first set of control numbers were for the White Card. On my second call, They gave me my Blue Card (unsolicited) Proxy control numbers. I then went to ProxyVote.com and voted.
About a week or so later, E*Trade sent 6 proxies to my email address. 3 White, 3 Blue, after verification of my Blue Card votes I noticed that 2 of my accounts hadn’t been tabulated by ProxyVote.com?
I then submitted my Blue Card vote via E*Trade email link.
This is something everyone should do. Verify that you voted using the Blue Card and get a confirmation of your vote.
Conspiracy theory or no, I smell a rat or Rat’s as in plural. Their names are Karim Mikhail and Per Wold Olsen.
If you haven’t read Captain’s post on White vs Blue you should. It’s eye opening.
GLTA
DAR, make sure you get a confirmation of your vote as well. Either through your broker or through Broadbridge via ProxyVote.com
Captain; thanks for getting to the real gist of the problem with Voting the White Card. These crooks are really something.
You’ll notice I didn’t put Amarin out front in my salutation. I didn’t want to tarnish the company name and have it associated with these crooks that are ruining this company. It’s a name that means something to me anyway.
These jokers have to go….
sts; they make welding helmets (PPE), that allows you to wear a respirator/ mask underneath. Some even use a spacesuit type helmet that pipes fresh air into the hood. I don’t have one, but someday I will.
As for COVID, what a moneymaker for Pfizer, Moderna, JNJ and others to capitalize on. Now, they want to inject children. Unbelievable.
Amarin sent them out using our money. Ignore them if you already voted using the Blue Proxies.
sts; Caught my second round of COVID the last day of our cruise. It was a Tuesday, January 3rd, like you, first day felt a sore throat coming on and slightly nauseous, chest congestion, slight fever. Went to my clinic on Thursday, tested positive for COVID. Got a script for Paxlovid. medication seemed to work. I self-quarantined from the get go. Didn't go anywhere, no family or friends. I only got the J&J Covid shot back when it was free in April 2021. Had to because of travel. I'm glad I didn't get any more shots, because everyone I know who's gotten shots has gotten COVID. Chinese did a wonderful job developing the virus.
I've been getting my V from CVS, but that's going to change now since I've gone with Humana and probably going to go "Mail order" through CenterWell on-line pharmacy. I believe my co-pay for 90 days will be around $90, not sure maybe a little more. I can't use BlinkRX because I'm on Medicare Advantage Plan.
You still doing welding work? Take care,
Nuke
That would be awesome. I would take you on a wine tour for sure. Maybe rent a Bus invite some of the other longs??? nahhh, I'd invite jmcrr for sure. Send Kiwi a post card....saying we miss you... :D) Invite meowza, when he or she shows up accidentally forget their name on the RSVP list. Sorry, can't get on the bus.... we don't have you on our VIP list.
Visit the Grand Canyon in style. Have dinner at El Tovar. Or drive the car, get to the canyon in about 15 minutes...
You're right, I jumped to conclusions.
Sorry seve;
That would be a hoot. Get invited to a celebrity weekend. Show up with our cars....!
Of course, I wouldn't want my baby to get any salt on her... I'd pick something like Nürburgring , just to see how the car handles the curves....if you get my drift... :D)
Rose; Both teams have had two weeks to rest up and take care of their injured players.
Eagles are favored according to this ESPN Poll of reporters;
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35603304/super-bowl-2023-predictions-experts-pick-chiefs-eagles-score-mvp
That's what they said about the Vikings too, then the Chiefs (Len Dawson) whooped them. Broadway Joe Namath predicted otherwise with the Juggernaut Baltimore Colts.
IDK, I think Mahome's is an uncanny quarterback, if he's healthy I'd say look out. He could be saying, no my ankle is improving just to throw off the Eagles.
Unfortunately, I won't be attending the SuperBowl , even though it is in my home town.
You're right about the colors; back in the day Republicans were Blue and Democrats were Red https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states
Oops or it is Poops? I just fed the teenager.
Just for Sheets & Giggles, how would you interpret his Post. Come'on Man throw us all a bone. Show some intelligence for once instead of showing us your immature side.
Great point Ram: BLUE all the way... unless you're a Republican like me. I like my firearms handy, locked and loaded.
Superbowl weekend, who's it going to be? If Mahome's ankle is healed up, the Chiefs have a chance. I always root for the underdog anyway.
Speaking of cars, I'll have to race you when I get my Bugatti Chiron.. https://www.bugatti.com/chiron/
Watched a documentary on how they're built, it would blow your mind. It achieved test track speeds of 250 mph.

Too bad I couldn't give this post a thumbs down? Can IHUB install a "Thumbs Down" button? I know, like Twitter, Youtube and every other website, we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so we'll just do away with any negative comments or icons? We'll only allow positive comments. Ridiculous. Our country was born out of dissention.
You're a fool if you truly believe what you just wrote. Incredible.
Truer words....I can only speak for myself. That's the way it's always been for me with Amarin...."Let it ride."
I kept buying Amarin shares after the 1st failed ADCOM fiasco. Then bam! Reduce-It data came out. After that the second ADCOM...another watershed event.....BAM! Then the DUsaster.... double dam! Then all the kings horses and all the kings men....didn't know how to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. Oh what to do? KM took the reins....another double dam'ya.
In all of this, there's always a silver lining. It's name? Vascepa it's a good drug, it works for me. In the right hands it could be a wonderful drug for humanity. There-in lies the value. I like my odds of winning in the end. Denner has a plan, he's laid it out for us if we choose to see it.
I choose to Let it ride.
Riddle me this Batman....so, some of the people buying shares the last 2 weeks sold on Monday & Tuesday?
I'm assuming they don't give a rat about the Proxy vote? Or they voted then sold their shares? Or the shares were never voted? How are these shares accounted for in the final tally? Probably they will be uncounted shares is my guess.

Unbelievable, I’m so glad I’m not a Twitterholic. These people need a life and a job.
sts; so how did you find out you had COVID? Doctor? If so, they should have prescribed you PAXLOVID. You would have started feeling better in a day or so.
Also Albuterol inhaler worked wonders.
Sounds like it’s all over now. I used to get my Vascepa through CVS, because originally I got it filled at Walgreens. They miraculously didn’t have V in stock anywhere, so I switched.
Did you try and request a 100 day script from your doctor. Problem there is some insurance companies won’t cover 100 day scripts.
Another trick I did was made sure I got my 4th script filled before December 31st. So, I have enough V until April.
Sorry to hear about your troubles with CVS.
Did you vote yet?
Actually Swing, it was early 2023. They were still in their pajamas in December 2022.
Who? What? This is the Olsen residence, who's calling me at this hour? :D) Oh hello Karim? Merry Christmas, what? You just got a call from Sarissa Capital? Something about a Proxy vote? Call me later when I'm up and about.
Friggin' shareholders
So they say, talk is cheap. It's too little too late for them. They should have listened a couple years ago.
Denner on the other hand will probably be more communicative with shareholders I would imagine.
$24.50, He sells to Novartis for $10B. Unless there's a bidding war?
Birdbrain; Since you mentioned it, did your professor ever present to you what the Stockholm Syndrome is or was?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
Sounds like you missed class that day. Or it was so long ago you don't remember? Like any investor would Denner wants to gain control for sure, but he also wants to improve the company's Balance sheet. Wouldn't you if you were him. He's got a lot of skin in the game.
He's not a Warren Buffett, but he definitely has had a winning strategy for companies he's been involved with in the past. For those of us who've been here way too long, Denner is a welcome sign of relief for the poor management of this great product. If you haven't taken the time to read his strategy (makes sense) then you should. His strategy is basically make Vascepa more affordable for your customers "bottom-line." The cats out of the bag.
Sleven, I disagree with your statement that Denner wanted to lose those seats. Recall that Amarin drug it's feet and at the last moment voted against Denners 2 candidates. Denner at the time was Amrains largest shareholder and Amarin couldn't "throw him a bone?", In May 2022 Denner made his choice to abstain in protest. Still nothing forthcoming from Amarin management? Really?
Are you voting against all of Denners nominees? Any proposals you're For besides removal of PWO? You vote your conscientious....I guess?
I thought you said you were voting to toss out Per Wold Olsen? Are you not?
Monk; Raf is right, I just learned that emails can be compromised unless you setup a 2 step authentication. I know we live in uncertain times. Best to be safe.
