> #1 Go to Post # 109565 CJR_MS posted the script numbers for 6/30
> #2 Great post JL, so we should see a Placebo rtae somewhere close to 5.9%. As Bill & Ted would say (Bill & Ted's Famous Adventure) EXCELLENT.....
> #3 and Lastly, tell our mutual friend BioBill to stop responding to ol what's his name, the uninformed one, with an agenda. He's giving us old timers heartburn. Besides if he keeps this up tell him I have a Bridge in Brooklyn to sell him.
> #4 Have a great weekend all, Amarin appears to be holding it's own, good to see it stabilize @ 4.24 range, this morning was an obvious Stop loss mousetrap. Looks like it worked.

And here I thought you guys (BB,HD,JL, etc.) were smarter than that. Pyro is taunting all of you. I think pyr has definitely violated ihub policy and should be banned to one post/day like you've done to me. I surely get sick of his diatribe. It's not constructive ( pot calling the kettle black....). Whoever this guy is, he's got your number and knows which buttons to push. To me he's a piarrhea. Moderators you have it within your power to stop this. No reason necessary other than he taunts and doesn't provide any wisdom.
Thanks JL; Good Post, often times we long time board member don't see the "forest for the trees." IMHO we assume get wrapped up in the minutia and don't get back to basics of why we're here.
Anyone new coming to this thread only see the diatribe of responses that I personally ignore a lot as I don't have the time.
I think most of us have the responsibility to inform others and use the KISS principle whenever possible. I say this because there will be newbies coming into AMRN by the droves. They'll all want a piece of this action once it gets noticed. By then hopefully we'll be well on our way past our Historical Highs. Albeit we'll still need to support the board and the overwhelming knowledge that it contains.
Good fortune to all,
Nukel Head
You may be right BC; AMRN up .02 AH. Had a strong comeback today. Not only DMC results, but 2nd Q earnings are coming in August. "These are the times that try men's souls". Patience is a virtue for sure.

Hold on folks....let's not jump to contusions. Did you read the whole article?
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cantor-pounds-table-amarin-corporation-210138617.html
Seems Cheng's track record isn't the greatest, a -12.5% return over the past year when we've been in a Bull market? Kind of sounds fishy doesn't it? IMHO I'm thinking her analysis gets discredited. Let's face it, it's only an opinion of one Analyst who works for a fairly big name, backed up of course by a team of researchers?
Now, if Goldman Sachs were to get on board then we'd be going someplace, aka Jimmy Cramers blessing. We need some bigger houses to get behind Amarin, This news is just that, news that is quickly fleeting I'm afraid.
I do love it though, PYRO actually came out and said he shorted @ 3.38, that made my day. Where is the old chap anyway?
Hold unto your shares,

STS; sorry, you're right of course, I never drink beer when I'm out working in the yard. I'll wait until I'm done and even then I'd prefer an Ice Tea or cold water. I also don't play Golf. I garden, take care of my Ducks and Chickens and four dogs. Trying to develop a mini-farm.
As for taking Vascepa, I essentially have given up trying to get a script since its so cost prohibitive for me. Thanks to everyone who has given me suggestions on how to get a script filled for cheap. I stopped taking my Statin (Lovalo) over a year ago. Right now its just about diet. You're going to laugh, I've taken a liking to drinking Kombucha (fermented Tea), home made of course :D). Seriously though, it's been a remarkable discovery for me. I make it for family and friends now, thought about going commercial but no funds.
Research Kombucha, I think you'll find it has some terrific benefits for mind and body. I know it's helped me a lot with my Anxiety attacks and has allowed me to get a very good nights sleep. So much different than before.
Have a great day,
Nukel Head
Hi BioBill; I couldn't agree with you more. PPS is ridiculously low, for no reason other than perhaps it's summertime and people are moving their money out of Amarin hoping to get back in at a later time. Perhaps a dead money play. I've done that several times, been burned every time.
Talk about HOT! Supposed to get up to 117 degrees F in Phoenix by Fathers Day (6/17) and up to 120 F sometime next week.
Anyone for an afternoon round of golf? Greens Fees in Phoenix are really cheap during the afternoon, just don't stray too far off the course, they may never find you. Be like the burning sands, you start seeing mirages.
Like to add my two cents..... R-It goes the distance (100%), so why worry, "Relax have a Homebrew." what we have 6 months until we hear something definite? Heck, we've all waited what 5 years already.

Boy, talk about singing the Blues; This board is like a trip to the morgue and summer is just starting folks. Let's stay focused on the prize which is not so far now. The bickering from two immortals doesn't help.

Rag_man: I apologize, actually the breakeven is closer $29 million additional. I used $600 per month vs $215 per month (30 day script). Also, the weekly scripts need to get to around 32,000 from what I recall oh so long ago from he's post. About 130,000 monthly scripts. I figure that if Pyro can lie and make baseless statements about breakeven, then I have my estimates and Pyro has his.
Thanks SAM, I always look forward to your script info on Friday's makes my day.... seriously.
Ahhhh Adam..... when will you ever learn? Don't ever doubt the efficacy of Vascepa and the R-I trial.
Let me see, you're saying that Vascepa won't grow at all this year is essentially what you're eluding to? I want some of what you're smoking.
Pretty cool dude, I love your seat of the pants calculations, and you based your hypothesis all on one weeks script data? Amazing. Since we're into "fuzzy math"...... here's my take.
I think HD gave a figure of 32K scripts per week for Amarin to break even, (Cash flow +), even JT says we'll be cash flow positive this year. BTW, JT hasn't let us down as of yet...... This equates to (let's round up shall we to say 11,000 additional scripts per week).. Revs needing to go to approximately 11,000 * $7200 ($600 per script per month x 12 = 7200) per patient, per script.... ready? Drum roll please..... $79.2 mm you're number is a bit lower 60mm, which gives me great hope that we will definitely achieve our goals.
Just throwing out numbers, let's just say V's script growth for the past two years has been what 45% YOY. That would mean scripts in 6 months would be +22% higher, so weekly scripts should be 22,000 x 1.22 = 26,840, a delta of 4840, let's round up to 5,000 just for grins, since we're also taking market share from GenL and L. Plus don't forget the US Market alone for hypertriglyceridemia patients (>500 mg/dl) = 4 Million, we've barely scratched the surface here.
Sonny.... I wouldn't hitch my wagon to your theory, that Amarin will not be successful. Sorry, just ain't buying it.
Nuke
Kiwi, hurry before my post gets pulled..... for whatever reason?
December 2016 = Cash on Hand (COH) was $98.3M
March 2017 = COH of $96.1M
Please explain your cash burn of $20M per quarter when Amarin is almost Cash Flow positive???? and what about Bob?

Interesting TV Program last night on PBS World Channel; Titled; "The Fish on My Plate." Author/ actor Paul Greenburg. GOOGLE it..... it is worth the effort to view this program. Covers a lot of topics that stem from Fish. Too numerous to discuss here, Eskimos, Fish farming, feeding billions of people, fish disease, Native vs. Farmed fish,
Talked about Omega 3 extensively, fish farming, eluded to ongoing Long Term studies, didn't mention any names of studies. These studies are to prove the benefits of Omega 3 on Cardio related issues.
Interesting point for Kiwi: During the filming, Paul Greenburg (author) ate over 700 meals of fish (mostly salmon) over a 1 year period. One segment showed Mr. Greenburg reviewing his Lipid panel with his doctor. Conclusion: no improvement in LDL, TG through Greenburg's diet, just eating fish.
Still, I have high hopes for Vascepa as it provides much more Omega 3 than fish alone. Now if you were an Eskimo who survives mainly on Fish and Blubber which is very rich in Omega 3 then this is a different story.
Watch the show..... take care,
Nuke
Thanks Sam, so what does all this mean? Is this March 2017 compared to what? Also please educate me on Institutional. Great numbers, love the constant/ consistent rise in Market share. Like the Little Engine that could....
Drink your Marijuana rather than smoke it....use Vascepa to counter the effects of Arachadonic Acid and Omega 6s contained in the Hemp Oil.
http://www.whydontyoutrythis.com/2013/04/the-importance-of-drinking-rather-than-smoking-cannabis.html
Read closely,
Cannabinoids can prevent cancer, reduce heart attacks by 66% and insulin dependent diabetes by 58%. Cannabis clinician Dr. William Courtney recommends drinking 4 - 8 ounces of raw flower and leaf juice from any Hemp plant, 5 mg of Cannabidiol (CBD) per kg of body weight, a salad of Hemp seed sprouts and 50 mg of THC taken in 5 daily doses.
Cannabis - whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, wild, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin - is a vegetable with every dietary essential we can't synthesize: Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids, Essential Cannabinoid acids and hundreds of anti-Cancer compounds. Cannabis clinician Dr. William Courtney recommends drinking 4 - 8 ounces of bud and leaf juice of any Hemp plant, 5 mg of CBD per kg of body weight, a salad of Hemp seed sprouts and 50 mg of THC daily, divided into 5 doses with an Arachadonic acid source, such as Hemp seed oil. “If you heat the plant, you will decarboxylate THC-acid and you will get high, you"ll get your 10 mg. If you don't heat it, you can go up to five or six hundred milligrams & use it as a Dietary Cannabis. . . and push it up to the Anti-oxidant and Neuro-protective levels which come into play at hundreds of milligrams,” stated Dr. William Courtney. “The amount of Cannabinoids we need would be difficult to get through smoked Cannabis without feeling the intoxicating effects,” said Kristen Courtney. The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) maintains our biological systems by regulating each cell tissue. It uses Arachadonic acid/Omega 6 to make Endo-Cannabinoids: fatty molecules that communicate harm between cells. Dietary Cannabis mimics the ECS by providing Cannabinoids when there is an Arachadonic acid deficiency or Clinical Cannabinoid Deficiency. The body regenerates best when it's saturated with Phyto-Cannabinoids, which takes 3 months of Dietary Cannabis use. Patients exceeding 4 decades need Dietary Cannabis daily. Patients using blood pressure, birth control, Epilepsy, Anti-psychotic or any Cardiac medicines need more Dietary Cannabis to elevate their serum Cannabinoid levels. Oxidative diseases and Amphetamine, radiation or Alcohol damage can be prevented or treated with Cannabinoid therapy. Cannabinoids are particularly effective in the treatment of oxidative associated diseases of the CNS because they cross the Blood Brain Barrier and exert their anti-oxidant effects. Hemp juice has lowered blood pressure an average of 10 points within 2 hours. Patients suffering from end stage Cancer need to eat buds whole. ...
Thanks Sam; New Scripts improved that's good. Good Numbers.
I can see the Liberal media "spin" is at it again. They called the Stock market lower (Syria Bombing) when it actually closed up. At least Trump's not afraid to go toe to toe with the Russians.
Q: Did I ever mention how you begin negotiations with a Russian?
A: You find the biggest baseball bat you can find and hit them as hard as you can (in the head preferably), then ask them if they're ready to begin negotiations?
Ahhh, the stock market is such a fickle beast. Thanks Raf for the HTGM symbol. We are witnessing a glimpse of the future with Amarin.
Being a ZONIE (Arizonan), HTGM is based in Tucson, AZ. only 7M shares OS. Trading 26M shares currently, 4X the OS shares..... wow. HTGM news is not earth shattering yet the stock has exploded.
Now you all know why I'm long AMRN. Someday our ship will come in, then you'll hear the Sonic BOOM as the XR71 passes overhead.

Resting Zebra and Zuman;
I filed for Medicare in October 2016, 2 months prior to my 65th Birthday, so I'm good as far as making the deadline. Been ignoring the Invoices. Today, I just mailed my check to the Gubmint for $487.50, for the privilege of being on Medicare.... go figure after working since 12 yrs old, first W-2 I filed when I was 14 yrs.
Hopefully, this fee isn't a yearly fee.... if so, then WFT am I getting Medicare for then? I still pay Obamacare fees for my daughter. I wonder how much the penalty is for not filing? All I can say is this better be worth it..... I'll feel better when I can get my Vascepa script at a discount.
Liked the CC: Thanks to all of you who paraphrased the details of the CC:; Cash Flow Neutral (Good), Revenues $130M (Good), street likes to see increasing Revenues and Scripts. Thanks JL, I agree Primary Endpoint is a lock, just going for the Secondary Endpoints, IMHO those will be also. Just a feeling I have. Be patient my friends.
Nuke
I'm limited to one post per day (Indefinitely)..... so, I have to make each message count....I can't respond to anyone until the next day.
#1 - Thanks SAM81, the numbers look great, finally broke 20K weekly scripts. Amarin should be getting close to being cash flow positive???
#2 - HDGabor, the $9 coupon is all fine and good for those not on Express Scripts. Last time I checked Express Scripts has VASCEPA listed as a "Maintenance Drug" not a "Preventive drug". If it was a Preventive Drug then things would be different. Regardless, I cannot get a co-pay which I can reasonably afford. I pay full price for VASCEPA plain and simple. After beating your head trying to get people to listen and provide information one gives up..... the insurance companies continue to play these games. No where can I get the tie in between United Health Care and Express Scripts. UHS has Vascepa as a Preventive Drug, whereas Express Scripts does not, even though both companies are affiliated, although not on paper. I cannot get a script filled through UHS as they refer me to Express Scripts. :D(
#3 - I'm 65, not retired and not currently on Medicare as I'm still working (on Obamacare) and have to provide for a minor child. Now unless someone out there knows how this Medicare stuff works...then I'm all ears. To me it's like reading the US Tax Code.
HD: I do agree with Pyro. I'd like to know where I could get V for $9 co-pay. Please enlighten me. Walmart cheapest place to buy V, doesn't accept V $9 card. In other words I can't buy 30 days worth of V for $9 anywhere that I'm aware of.

Glass half empty or half full? IMHO, moving the CC: to next week could be a good thing. I do this all the time, reschedule things waiting on better information to present. No big deal here.
Good buying Opportunity......

Golf Stud; Yes, your script is correct. Each capsule contains approx. 1000 mg (1 gram) of Vascepa of 97% EPA. Four per day, 2 in the AM, 2 in the PM, preferably with food. although with Vascepa it doesn't matter as the Side Effects are nil. Without any prompting tell us what you think you feel after say a week?
Sounds like we're in the same boat, Trigs aren't extreme, my insurance doesn't cover Vascepa, so if I want it I have to pay full price. Not sure who your insurance carrier is.
Thanks for posting.
BTW, AMRN hit $3.50, where's ol Pyro I'd like to tell him the good news.....

FYI, I bought more Amarin today. Traded my Utility stock in for the upcoming Tsunami. I figure go big or go home.

Hmmmm, very interesting indeed. Alot of content. I posted on a repair sight once, it was for Samsung Dishwashers troubleshooting, I still receive emails about it, It basically says another person has found your fix for Samsung dishwashers to work, Last count I had about 7400 hits for people liking my fix. Now if this was on PEEKS who knows, I could send the kids to college. You know we're at the leading edge of this thing. Think back before Cable TV, we thought TV was free when essentially it wasn't we as consumers had to sit through and continue to sit through commercials. Frankly, I'm fed up with commercials. Sound familiar? I think PEEKS is unto something. To stream quality content users will have to pay or tip in order to keep watching, so I say watch. A lot of content providers will exit those websites who give free content to one that pays for their content. I think I'm beginning to understand now. What we are looking at is the beginning of pay per view for smartphones. among other things. Like having a mobile TV in the palm of your hand.
From the KEK.V Stockhouse board, Canadian, lots of comments about 15% useful info the rest is drival.
Selling products via the app
When the feature is added streamers can hock products much liked a home shopping network. The in stream offer box allows viewers to never leave the app to buy the product. The CEO has used the example of Dr. Dre selling Beats headphones/earbuds.
Many budding musicians post videos on YouTube and a link to the app stores where viewers can buy the single for $0.99 US. The app stores take 30% commission. Peeks will be able to offer those musicians the ability to sell their singles in stream and viewers will never have to leave the broadcast. Peeks can do it for 10% commission.

Ahhhh... nothing like competition to spur the big boys into action. 30% vs. 10% and PEEKS still makes a bundle of money. .10 cents x 200 million = $2 million revs. just for one song. I think I'm getting it. :D)
Great news, first Android, then in a couple days Apple.... sweet
Thank you. I will. I may even subscribe..... :D)
So, I'm old school. I like the concept of social media, however, I don't believe in downloading Facebook because I like my privacy. I'd like to see how PEEKs works but I'm hesitant on giving out personal information. I'm invested in KEEKF for the long haul. So, without downloading the App, how can I view the User Interface. Maybe one of you guys can illustrate for us senior citizens how this all works without getting too complicated?
Thanks,

I was just driving up to Micky D's to order my Quarter pounder with cheese. I turned the car around and splurged at my local Oriental market..... now where did I put that can of sardines in Lousiana Hot Sauce? Along with a beer chaser.
Actually a very good video. My question is; What the F--- is wrong with our Medical Community? Instead we taxpayers have to keep funding the FDA and their ineptness, et al, Coleman (RIP) and others whose duty it is to suppress and control every aspect of drug approvals regardless of their effectiveness.
As I recall during the ADCOM when JELIS study was mentioned it was like the Japanese study was not worthy of any credibility, therefore the Japanese medical professionals appeared to be dumb and uneducated when it comes to medicine.
Thanks FFS; kind of my thoughts too. "No guts, no glory," IMHO (the gambler mentality), AMRN has as good a chance to kick butt as any investments on my radar.
jfmcrr, thanks for responding. True invewstor fashion I might add. Be careful what you post on these boards, because it may lead to a cacaphony of comments you weren't looking to defend.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'm overly invested in Amarin (85%+) of my portfolio. Been overweight since the ADCOM debacle. Yes, I know there are some other stocks I've been looking at Tech Sector AMD (350% in 2016), XLNX, one Social Media KEEKF. Oil is getting interesting for sure. I was figuring someone would tell me to buy AMRN since it appears to me to have the most potential in the shortest amount of time, but no one took the bait..... Maybe it's investor confidence on this board. I may just hold off and buy AMRN if it dips below $3.
Thanks for your time, btw, what are some tickers you have on your radar?
Thanks Nuke
Sorry fellas, limited to one post/day. Thanks again Kiwi for your response. Apologize for the storm effects surrounding OmegaVia products. But, needed to know before I bought any. I took myself off statins, so, I haven't been taking anything. Kowa Livalo was costing me $240 for 90 day script vs. the generic Lipitor the Dr. prescribed which made me feel like well you know what....?
One final point before I go, if a person had some dry powder, is Amarin a good buy considering the upcoming RI Interim @ 80%. Just want to get peoples perspective on where they're at.
Happy New Year to all,
Nuke
Hi Kiwi, sorry if we've already been through this before with Omega Via. I should order Omega Via 500 EPA correct?
At 28.89 @ Amazon for 120 capsules with free shipping if I'm a Prime member. I still pay sales tax since Amazon has a warehouse in AZ.
I can buy direct from Omega Via for 27.89 (120 capsules) and forego the tax, but then pay for shipping.
Amazing I can get a script for Vascepa from my doctor, but it costs me $640 for a 90 script ($215+ for 30 days) through Express Scripts doesn't accept the voucher. Walmart does, but it's kind of a wash. Really unfortunate.
To get the equivalent dosage 4 grams/ day, I'll need to take 8 Omega Via capsules. So, for one month I'll need 240 capsules vs. 120. (2x $28 = $56 per month). Still not "High Shelf" but it's better than not taking anything at all.
I just want to grow my hair back, not hair on my back..... :D)
Kiwi; that goes for me as well, Happy New Year. What a year to look forward to.
The over the counter EPA was Omega Via?
Have a good one,
Nuke
Thanks Sam; inch by inch we are gaining market share. Must be getting it from Lovaza, although Generic Lovaza #s are also going down from the looks of things.
Hi Kiwi, I understand your logic. Since I work in the Electric Utility Industry, all I can tell you is. Amarin if put into an ultra demand situation would pay spot prices for EPA just to satisfy customers. These costs of course would be, should be passed along to the consumer almost immediately.
Since the drug industry isn't regulated (as far as fixed price contracts) such as a Corporation Commission for Public Utilities. Amarin doesn't have to take it in the shorts until the Company can go to the Corp. Commission to recover costs. Also, I don't know of too many companies that would or could turn down the demand. Sure it is a risk for Amarin to raise prices but the same scenario applies to all companies dealing with Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Prices goes up for everyone.
Since you live in California, recall the years 2008 & 2009. There was a Power shortage in California where the spot prices for electricity shot upwards of $1000 per Mwh. Both PGE & Southern Cal Edison took major losses. Their stock prices plummeted to under $10 because their Corporation Commission didn't allow them to pass along the extreme spot prices to their customers.
Like my illustration provides, Amarin doesn't have to do anything, they can raise their prices to match their COGS. I'll be waiting to see what happens. If EPA becomes vital for American Health then the Insurance Companies will need to pony up as will the Government. Wallah, your ECON 101....
All I can say is.... Wow... Ola Danilina is very attractive and so well connected to Hollywood. Who says beauty has no brains?
