Youre right- we love it.
My company transports about 25-30 people to the Mayo Clinic every week. At least half of them are BP reps It costs BP about $300 one way. Wasted $$$?
United Health Care is based in the Minneapolis -St Paul as are 22 other major company HQs. There isnt a week that passes where we dont transport 15-20 BP REPS to United. Are they wasting money?? If so- they are really stupid
JT has stated he wants to add more reps- maybe double up to 800. If this is horse and buggy thinking- why is he doing this? JT gets it. He needs bodies on the street. He is currently outnumbered by BP at least 10-1
Then why does PFE have thousands of drug reps banging ion doors everyday?? Im in the limo business We transport scores of drug reps weekly. Are these companies stupid??. In fact in the 10 years Ive been in this business- the number of BP reps has gone up exponentially. The internet is a great tool but there is nothing like face to face contact That will never change. Sales makes the world go round. Its the epitome of capitalism
Good point- being a one trick pony gives you less face time and a reason to be seen
Relax- it will be out in 12-72 hours
Only at a good premium. PFE is a blue chip stock that has split 5 times and pays a 36 cents per share dividend quarterly. Give ma a 2-1 stock trade and Im retired with a nice dividend check regularly owning a stock that will grow. In a much faster time than it would take AMRNY
Sorry Dan- youre wrong on this one Drug Reps make $75K plus in the form of salary. Their commisdion i is 8-10% plus they get car and expenses. Hiring 800 reps would be a major
or upfront expense for a small company like AMRN. Been there done that. Al very long uphill pull. My hope as a long as they GIA renenues and PPS grow enough for a BO with a good premium
800 reps?? Not without another dilution and then we are still about 2200 dhort to get the job done. Time is a wasting. It took PFE with over 3000 reps 7 years to make Lipitor the top seller of all time
Ok youre on. Ive been practicing
I think you forgot”it will sell itself”. Anyway I didnt see you at Debary on Friday. I Should have played Mayfair Sar and those 2 up tee boxes
I got ripped on ihub by those who didnt like the Secretariat analogy. Cant understand why the GIA guys are so defensive. My wife reminded me that I was sales manager of 2- not one companies that got bought. 3 if you count my own company that I sold. I know a little about the subject GIA if you can do it but realize there are huge limitations. We all want V to succeed. What is the best way to do it???
“That's what I'm saying is the false analogy. JT IS Ron Turcotte and he is riding an 1,800lb starving bull ... but the field is not another 19 champion horses, it's weeds... this bull will ride straight to the food trough with no competition for the food. “. —— Well I hope youre right but its a lot of wishful thinking. I was sales manager for 2 companies both of which got bought out and then had my own company for 15 years. AMRN has its work cut out for it agsinst BP-Its hard to fight against the big boys even with a golden product like V. Dont think ANRN has no competition. The last 6 months proves otherwise
Huh??Suggest you re-read my post. Greatest horse in history with a 200 lbs inexperienced jockey. Get it?? Never mind. V is the best but AMRN in its current stste is incapable of exploiting that fact
Jeff— you nailed it. AMRN is a one trick pony with no real sales force or marketing dept to compete with BP. MY friend MNBIOMIKE likened it to me riding Secretariat. Guess what- I’d finish last with the greatest horse of all time. I want V to be huge-how will it get there?
Im the one who first told about the ihub board about my 65 yr old sister with normal LDL and Trigs but a family history of CVD. GUESS WHAT- she went to her cardiologist and read him the R-1 results Stress test ekg etc and he wrote her a script!!! A bad Dr according to you. Give me a break
I not looking for fast money- Ive been waiting nearly 5 years and some of you way longer!! AMRN would have to have another large dilution to put the thousands of reps on the street to produce the numbers a decent BO would produce. Which do you want?? It took PFE 7 years to make Lipitor the largest selling drug- and that s with thousands of reps and $billions in advertising
$32-35??? Forget it. JT is smarter than that. Only if they threw in stock
The system isn’t structured for a tiny player to GIA. You can hate it all you want, but that’s the truth. Thero knows this. We’re sold before end of 2020, maybe earlier. Maybe much earlier. There’s no predicting that.
Well you or anybody else in this board knows that JT hasnt picked up the phone. Why this big deal about GIA or BO?? Nobody here jnows what JT and BOD will do
Did it take that long for Lipitor??? Four more years?? I dont think so
Prior to getting on V I took high epa fish oil. Not even clise. After one month on V my prostitatitus was gone andmy heart rate was much steadier plus usual aches and pains greatly diminished. Fish Oil is also loaded with a lot of crap and is basically rancid
Face the facts folks - label expansion is 6-12 months away Only BO rumors affect the PPS positively. if AMRN has been approached- what would be wrong with JT saying so ?? Otherwise we go sideways and down. Good R-1 results were only good on 9/24. Since then -the PPS tanks. Think BIIB - if Im their CEO and hsve the cadh they have on hand- I’d make a phone call and if Im JT I’d pick up the phone
Agree completely. I got my V script off label by my PCP when I told him about V being a great anti-inflammatory and it would thwart CVD. He wrote it up. Was he being negligent?? Hardly. I love V
She has none of the issues you describe. Her father died with perfectly normal cholesterol levels and BP. If I ever heard of a candidate for V - she is it. But I’m sure you are correct/ her cardiologist wont give her a V script
What marketing dept?? 400 new reps ought to bring in 400 new scripts a week (minimum) times 50 weeks. Not happening so far
Her father had heart attack at age 52 and she has chest pains Your reply actually proves my point-V is going nowhere without label expansion
She is not on statins and her trigs are 91. She complains of ocassional chest pains. Scary
My 65 yr old sister was told by her PCP this week that she didnt need V because V is only for patents on statins with high trigs and her trigs are fine. She has a fanily history of CVD and is going to a cardiologist next week. I told her to call him before the appt and have him read the R-1 results. You see what we are up against
Youre correct. Without label expansion V will remain a friinge drug for Trig reduction and the PPS will dwindle. As a former sales manager I would be very dissppointed in the script numbers condidering I have 400 new salespeople on the street. Why are script numbers so low even though it is spring bresk time?? Face the facts- AMRN is small potatoes and will be until it is seen as a one trick pony- lowering trigs for statin patients
Yeah- the numbers dont lie. 6 months from topline results. Nothing sells itself
Biogen down nearly $100 today -what would a wonder drug like V which may also be effective against Alzeimers be worth to them??
Yes- precisely. So nobody knows on this board whether its GIA or BO and we never will until it happens (or doesnt happen). What an
y of us want to happen doesnt matter but I admit its fun to speculate because there are some with expertise on this subject. I dont care- I just want the PPS yo reflectt the true worth of V. How it happens remains to be seen. JT and the BOD myst know a LOT more than they are letting on— Gosh—I hope so !
Excellent point. They could recoup their losses in Alzeimers and have a marvelous drug for CVD and only God knows what else
i would take a 1-1 stock exchange. Do you know how long it would take AMRN to reach $228??
Thats why this stock is going nowhere without BO rumors. Additional good news on R-1 did squat. I was hoping for a strong PPSin 2019. Label expansion approval or strong BO rumors needed otherwise the waiting game continues on for another year
But Spark PPS was $51. It will take a long time for AMRN to get to that PPS
For sure because the PPS will tank until the next BO rumor. Wake me when it happens
No doubt V will win- what nobody on this board knows is who will make it win. I was a sales manager of a cleaning equip company and our products were vastly superior to our larger competitors- my company finally was made an offer they couldnt refuse. I ended up in a nice office with fringe benefits and we sold more machines than ever. Everybody won. It happens everyday. What you and I think will happen is meaningless. Its business baby and V is golden- everybody will know it eventually
