Lovin' the volume!
Bios have been leaving a sour taste in my mouth, lately. Looking to pick up a position in AIS if the opportunity presents itself right before the PDUFA.
Another 3 white soldier? ;P
AVNR - wth is going on? I don't own any, but wow.... Slaughtered.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, buddy!
I see 1.18 is the 50% on the fibs. Was touched this morning...That was probably bottom. We'll see :)
You left out the beer :|
Went to the gym, came back and was burned. Didn't put my stop in. I didn't have much in it, either. Hmph... on to the next one!
beeeeh, I sold early and broke even. Had to free up some cash. I made out alright, though :)
Great assessment.
Yup. Seems, lately, you need to have your finger on the trigger or you'll take one up the tailpipe. Can't blame people; market still seems fragile and dumps on the whim of bad news from Europe.
hey heeeey! board mark. :)
I agree with ya.
What's so crazy about that? There are people posting bigger positions than his (2, 3 times). If I had that much cheese, I would have dropped that much. I would have hedged it by now, but I would have put it down.
Man, you guys continue to rock it!
PEIX broke $1. WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE!
Haayoooo BFR!
Icuc, BFR... opinions on AIS? I picked up a position. IMO/gut feeling, is it'll break north of the wedge. I'll probably hedge my position from there and hold some through the PDUFA.
Whew... name change. Thought this thread disappeared.
Flllllllyyyyyyyyyyy
Yeah, wish there was institutional buying, but I guess there isn't on OTC stocks? Don't think I'll play these anymore except in short windows. The market also seems too fragile right now.
Such a disappointment. Had the feeling that was happen. Company definitely looks solid though; good long term play.
Man, I gotta give it to you guys; definitely the best board on iHub IMO. You guys are on fire.
Hmmm 22,500 buy huh... Someone's either got some disposable cash or knows something ;P
lol read my mind
Wouldn't be surprised to see a bear raid today, either.
From what I've seen, halts always produce the best results :)
lol damn.. you hit that one right on the head.
Nice close on FCSC.
Yup, don't really understand what the company is doing. Thanks for the heads up. Got it on watch.
YMI looks ready to pop
Nice one!
1261.01
Definitely. People flipping/locking in small profits due to the lack of volume; understandable.
Hi guys. Not sure if this subject has been beaten to death, but I can't figure it out.
With the ThinkorSwim platform, can MMs see stops, or stoplimits on the exchange? Or is the order held on my end, then sent once triggered?
Does it matter what platform you're using?
Well, at least he's living plush!
Much appreciated that you took the time for that response :)
Hey all/lowtrade!
Been following you guys ever since icucTrader recommended you a few months ago. Just wondering if you guys ever covered OPMG, "the Bieber stock?" Made some decent profit off of it in the past. Just wonder what your guys' take/speculation on the "darkside" economics of this one, and how you'd play it.
ANDS News
Was looking at this, but never dipped in. Trading @ 3.66 pre-market
SAN DIEGO , Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANDS) today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY). Under the terms of the merger agreement, Roche will commence an all cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Anadys at USD 3.70 per share.
The USD 3.70 per share cash offer price represents a 256% premium over the closing price of USD 1.04 on October 14, 2011 .
Steve Worland , President and Chief Executive Officer of Anadys, said: "Since Anadys' formation, our focus has been on driving forward research and development that would make a real difference to the lives of patients, especially those with hepatitis. With Roche 's considerable capabilities and experience in HCV, we believe this acquisition provides the best chance of success for the new potential treatments to reach patients. I would like to thank all our contributors for their dedicated efforts to advance the compounds to their current position."
Jean-Jacques Garaud , Global Head of Roche Pharma Research and Early Development , said: "This acquisition augments Roche 's already strong HCV portfolio. Our aim is to offer physicians and hepatitis patients a powerful combination of therapies that bring us closer to a cure, even without the use of interferon. Anadys' compounds provide additional modes of action that could lead to interferon-free treatment regimens without viral resistance."
Anadys' Board of Directors determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Anadys and its stockholders, and recommends that Anadys' stockholders tender their shares and, if necessary, adopt the merger agreement.
Each of Anadys' directors and executive officers has agreed to tender their shares in the offer.
The closing of the tender offer will be subject to the tender of a number of shares that, together with the shares owned by Roche , represent a majority of the total number of outstanding shares (assuming the exercise of all vested and unvested options and warrants having an exercise price per share less than the tender offer price) and other customary conditions. In addition, the transaction is subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The tender offer is expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2011.
The terms and conditions of the tender offer will be described in the tender offer documents, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC ").
Lazard is acting as financial advisor to Anadys and Cooley LLP is serving as Anadys' legal advisor.
