Thanks, BB. Can you please provide link (and, if possible, method of obtaining results). TIA
'bout time. They should throw him in jail and tie the key to a rabbit.
Oh, Mog... You're really exposing yourself now. AMRN can't negotiate anything. Puh-Leeeeaze.... Do you really think that the 1A suit and NCE reversal is nothing?
I would suggest that you limit your ethanol intake.
AMRN relisted on the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index effective December 21, 2015
We are once again listed on the Biotechnology Index effective December 21, 2015 ..
Oooopsies... Wrong again.
Great numbers-Thanks,Sam!! I hope Mog doesn't choke on his morning coffee when he reads 'em.
Mog, your quote "clogs the board with nonsense" is probably more applicable to you than any other single poster on this board.
Give it a rest. Your predilections are beyond obvious.
No.... Sam was correct. Nice try MOG.
Mog... there are 338 posts by you in just the 3 short (pardon the pun) months since you've joined the board, all of them: negative.
IMO, your opinions do not come across as well reasoned or balanced. It seems rather obvious to me that your agenda is simply to spread FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt).
I have no problem with healthy skepticism... that is always warranted when investing, however, I cannot understand why you would continue to hold this stock based on the content of your postings.
I am Long the stock and believe that I see value here, you apparently do not see that value, which is fine. Telling people to "Wake Up!"or denigrating them in any way is really unnecessary and probably does not enhance your credibility.
Excellent observation, Fishy. There clearly seems to be a single minded agenda in all of "The Mog's" postings, and that agenda whether for purposes of accumulation or to enhance the yield on a short position is just as you note, to attempt to "scare" retail investors into selling their stock. Nope, sorry, Mog... you can't have my shares (nor can you borrow them to short).
Mog: I understand your Rainman-like, obsessive bent with trying to illuminate every single negative pertaining to AMRN. It is more than obvious that you're shorting the stock and would love nothing more than to wake up tomorrow and see the the ticker showing AMRN, as AMRNQ.(Bankrupt). I think we all can agree on at least that fact.
What I fail to see in any of your incessant postings is a semblance of balance or recognition that there is potential upside for the Company that may occur (Let me restate that: before you have a hissy-fit) MAY occur as the result of potentially positive R-It interim data, as well as the effects of many other non-binary events relating to partnering deals, approval of new indications, judicial settlements or rulings etc..
In short (pardon the pun), after reading the plethora of posts that you've obviously been working overtime to create and "author" (To any "Newbies" on this forum, I would suggest that you review archived posts by our "friend", Mogwai to see if you detect any sense of balance or objective thinking).
Mog: quite frankly, I think that you've completely exposed yourself to be a Short that is simply composing postings for your own gain, (as well as the gain of your Short buddies.) Why not strive to at least attempt to appear open-minded?
Good luck to you, my "friend". In my estimation, you have showed your true stripes on more than enough occasions are to make it clear that you're far from being a reliable or credible source of unbiased information.
I will certainly grant that you are articulate, intelligent and passionate. I will also state that IMO, you are probably on the radar of anyone that has an I.Q. number that exceeds their shoe size and has done reasonable due diligence on the big picture of Amarin.
Thanks again for the numbers, Sam.
New 8-K: Amarin Announces Agreement to Purchase $16.2 Million of Its Existing Exchangeable Notes and Pricing of $31.3 Million of New Exchangeable Notes
Thank you Sam... I always appreciate your efforts!
Judge Moss:" I am going to defer my ruling so as to continue to defer the deferment ... "
Huh?
WTF, Judge Strap on a set.
That is all, Goodnight.
Freak, Seems like you smoke a lot of Hopium, and Short Hopium at that. (BTW; not a reply to you sts66...just adding my two cents to your thread.) Freak: The truth is that NONE of us knows exactly either what the R-It outcome will be, nor the effect that that outcome out will have on PPS will be. With that in mind, why not curtail the incessant reporting of your Short-inspired wet dreams (which have been duly noted), and acknowledge that speculation is just that: speculation.
Fortunately, after consulting Roget's Thesaurus, I am happy to report that the word speculation has no synonymous counterpart with the word TRUTH.
So how 'bout just chilling out and giving the B.S. a rest. To quote Mose Alison: " Your mind is on vacation, but your mouth is working overtime."
Mogwai, I am not attacking you, I'm calling out the lack of "truthful or non-misleading"information in most of your your posting(s).
No need to be so sensitive, Mog .... simply stick to facts & truth.
Have a great day!
BTW, Mog, I get the sense that in your mind, the concept of holding long term is measured in either hours or at best, perhaps, days.
That's fine...day trade 'til your heart's content, but your Short position ramblings and short-term "logic" really do not withstand even the most casual scrutiny.
Mogwai, Your statement "Absolutely nothing accomplished" is 100% pure hogwash. You will note that all, ALL of Vascepa's Rx#s increased this week:
TRx:14,367{vs13,579;+5.8%}Sec +5.8%
NRx:6,121{vs5,946;+2.94%}Sec +2.44%
Ref:8,246{vs7,633;+8.03%}Sec +7.99%
It seems that your desire to advance you Short position is causing you to post untrue "facts" on an exceedingly regular basis. That, sadly, not only undermines the already non-existent credibility that you've earned on this board, it also reflects poorly on your intellectual skill... your non-factual postings have been, and will continue to be exposed leading to folks either blocking you or simply viewing you as being a source of comic entertainment.
If you really hate the company and the product so much, why don't you simply move along to something that is a more suitable investment for you?
I hope that Amrin's counsel will insist on the inclusion of language from the FDA that makes the terms "truthful" and "non-misleading" less elastic than the broad, amorphous interpretations that FDA would certainly attempt to apply if left to their own devices.
The problem, as I view it, is not at all a case of Amarin trying to hoodwink Doctors, the problem is in defining what, exactly, is the criteria that FDA will apply when determining if a statement is truthful? Unless language is crafted that more precisely defines the parameters and criteria that will be applied, I think it very likely that FDA will be endlessly "picking fly-shit out of pepper" in it's vindictive retribution of Amarin.
There is little question in my mind that FDA has a big axe to grind with Amarin, in fact, I doubt there is a solitary reader of this board, Long or Short, that does not acknowledge bad blood between the FDA and Amarin. The FDA has routinely shown themselves to be an extremely self-serving agency in terms of protecting their near imperial power...even if protecting that power includes their use of non-truthful, misleading statements or trampling on U.S. Constitution. Make no mistake, the FDA are indeed bad actors.
Ajax, Was Zum in attendance and physically present when you held the discussions that you claim to have held with Thero? ...Of course not... thus your claim is simply but another bit of bullshit-riddled hearsay from you simply designed for self-aggrandizement and frankly a ineffective attempt to bolster your already weak credibility.
Again,I ask: Was Zum physically present at your meeting with Waxman, or did you simply relay to Zum that you'd met with Waxman?
As far as your "crumb bun" statement, I may me a crumb bun, however I'm not a stale, geriatric crumb bun that speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
A to your last point: I am NOT a lawyer. I have previously noted that fact here on more than one occasion. I do not give legal advice. I do not practice law. If you had taken the time to scrape the Geritol spills off of your bi-focals, you would have known this.
Now go play shuffleboard or bingo and have a nice weekend.
Invest; Re your link in post # 60005; Apparently you cannot understand the difference between speculation and FACT.
Quote from your linked article: “ speculation Soriot is planning to launch a cash bid for US biopharmaceutical group Amarin” Oh, yes… also from the same article: “AstraZeneca, along with other larger pharmaceutical companies such as Merck, Pfizer, Abbott and Eli Lilly, would apparently love to get their hands on Amarin for Vascepa, a prescription medicine which helps with the treatment for cardiovascular disease. It is the group’s first FDA approval product.”
That might well explain why orchestrated short attacks on the stock have occurred… so that these BPs can try to by Amarin for peanuts. But sorry, chumps…it ain’t gonna go down that way.
Re your link in post # 20005: The quote “ IRISH-AMERICAN cholesterol drug developer Amarin is to retain a financial adviser to review future prospects after fielding calls from more than a dozen interested parties, chief executive Joe Zakrzewski said yesterday. “ says nothing…let me repeat that for you, NOTHING about your 20 dollar PPS claim.
I would suggest that you stop posting your nonsense and trying to sell it as fact. Your credibility is frankly, running at a deficit
Invest: And I can understand why anyone with an I.Q. larger than their shoe size would discount your Rainman-like (uh-oh were missing Judge Wappner, uh-oh were missing Judge Wappner, uh-oh were missing Judge Wappner,) ramblings about JZ this, JZ that 20 dollars, 20 dollars.
Folks, it is VERY simple: Look at what Invest has cited (yes, follow his links and read for yourself), he has not provided one scintilla of fact to support his claims. Conjecture and Innuendo are NOT facts, Son.
Invest, you are correct (for once) in that I do not make any claim to be a lawyer. I do not provide legal advice to anyone. I simply find law to be interesting....which is more than I can say about the content of your posts.
Invest, Again I would ask that you please cite source article, and provide link please. You have not done this.
Calling me lazy is ridiculous and frankly rather childish. However, if you wish to open that can of worms, I would pose that it is you that is being lazy by not citing SOURCE.
To be clear: I don't mean just repeatedly regurgitating (in your best Bevis & Butthead voice) "Uh, huh, huh, huh, the Irish Times and ssstuff), I mean provide a LINK to an article...any article that factually and conclusively supports the nonsense that you've been trying to sell here.
I believe that even the most casual observer, should they bother to take the time to review your archived posts, will quickly see through your flawed reliance in accepting inference and innuendo as fact.
What do you say?
I say that it is you that should stop being lazy and actually take the time produce FACTS to back up your assertions.
Invest: I'm not an Ajax fan, however for you to have the temerity to request proof for anything other than, perhaps the world not being flat, is laughable. Personally, I have my doubts about Ajax's claims to supposedly having held conversations with JT, JZ, Waxman, the Pope, Elvis... but you, of all people, have little cause to request verification from anyone until you back up, with verifiable source/link, your prior assertions claiming that JZ turned down 20 bucks a share.
One a more positive note, I see a glimmer of hope for you inasmuch as your statement acknowledging the fact that you have no one but yourself to blame seems mentally healthy.
Invest: Contrary to your statement that you posted actual link to source article, the fact is that you did not, and further, you cannot, as one simply does not exist.
You just wrote: "...it is very reasonable to infer that the buyout price would have been at least $20/share."
Well then, what is it: a reasonable inference or a "fact"? You have been posting it as fact when in fact no such fact is documented.
You're correct; it is fair to say that both JL and I are absolutely calling you out on trying to sell conjecture as fact and until you can prove differently (again, Sir, please cite source/link/date etc.), your assertions regarding JZ having turned down 20 bucks a share should be viewed as delusional fiction.
Re the appearance of several new, "Long time" investors on the board: It's odd how all of a sudden a couple of new "Long time" investors have shown up to incessantly whine about things like JZ selling several years ago or the fact that we should have known the FDA would screw us, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's also odd that they love to spew conjecture as fact (Again... I challenge someone, in fact anyone to prove me wrong and show a definitive, verifiable link/source/quote that JZ turned down 20 bucks a share.) The oft-repeated (and frankly self-serving Short statement: "I saw it in the Irish Times etc. is very simply hearsay and frankly smacks of bullsh!t).
So to the "newbie" guys that are whining about having bought in the teens etc., I pose the following questions:
1.) Why do you blame others for your investing mistakes?
2.) Why have you not averaged down (like most savvy folks would do)?
3.) Why are you so obsessed with what JZ did 2-3 years ago that you cannot get out of the "coulda" "shoulda" "woulda" mindset that you cannot post about the way things are and what lies ahead instead of posing rhetoric and insults?
As I noted yesterday, short chatter is WAY up on this board and several other boards as well. I view all of this "concerned longs" stuff simply as attempts at misdirection.
Please cite and link your reference source, Invest. The claim that you are making is, at best, unsubstantiated and has been bandied about by the FUD crowd for a couple of years now.
Just repeating something over and over again does not make it true. It does, however, make it obnoxious.
Mog, You seem to be trying to make a strong case for shorting the stock, Am I correct in that observation?
One of the issues that I see on this board and several others is that there is a vastly different mindset between investors and traders (and that the two tend to clash in terms of truthful, non-misleading info sharing )
For day/swing traders, I suppose whatever theory you can make the most noise about, regardless of how outlandish or unverifiable, the better (as evidenced by the PPS action and rampant "short-chatter" over the course of the last few days). With respect to investors, the time-frame element becomes a bit less important in terms of how many ticks it moves in the next hour or day and more important in what it's potential is in terms of weeks, months or even years.
I won't say that I don't ever swing into & out of a stock, but the most money I've ever made is by investing medium to long term.
GLTY
Welcome to the board, Mogwai. I'd like to call a couple of things to your attention.
First, with regard to your statement:
"the FDA is not going to change how it treats this company.",
I would say that a review of both Judge's initial findings (as evidenced by the fact that NCE was remanded back to FDA and that PI was granted) would indicate that the FDA is indeed "going to have to change how it treats this company".
Secondly, I would suggest that your snide "some of you haven't figured this out." comment is condescending and unnecessary.
Interesting that the amount of "short chatter" and nay-saying has increased markedly over the last few days when there has been no news or material events occurring that would account for same. Additionally, the seemingly well-orchestrated push-down of the PPS during this same time period leads me to wonder if an agreement between FDA and Amarin may have been reached and further, considering how leaky the FDA has historically been with respect to Amarin, the chatter and, dare I say, manipulation of Amarin's PPS has been affected to allow Shorts to cover before imminent news is released.
Shawzzzz; At this point, Lisa Dywer might make more money as a Qui Tam whistleblower than going back into private practice as a lawyer and clocking into the office every day .
north40000 Yes...it sounds all too familiar.
BB; While I agree with your statement to the effect that Woodcock was not in favor of approving Vascepa, the fact remains that the FDA as an agency DID approve it for the MARINE (TGs above 500 mg/dL) indication. That is very simply the point that I was trying to point out to our dear friend, Freak.
WRT Woodcock's command performance at the Senate Help Committee's little shindig, my sense is that the scope of the questioning will be very narrow and probably of little use to Amarin other than the fact that perhaps Janet will stick her foot in her mouth and utter some odd quote here or there that might be useful in terms of impeaching some prior statement made by her or the FDA.
Freak; When you make a statement such as "because in the FDA's mind Vascepa should have never been approved" you simply display a total lack of intelligence...and regularly you do so in a major way.
Surely you realize that the FDA did, in fact, approve Vascepa. If "in the FDA's mind Vascepa should have never been approved" ... it would not have been approved. Period.
You really should stop sniffing glue, Freak as it will likely destroy the scant, few brain cells remaining in your microcephalic skull.
Good to hear Thero using stronger language with respect to Vascepa's therapeutic value by referencing CV health as opposed to just referencing very-high TG lowering.
I am assuming this is as a result of PI's effect in lessening what is tantamount to the threat of malicious prosecution by the FDA.
There is little doubt that Reps will very soon (if they're not already) be starting to share JELIS & ANCHOR data. I expect we'll see a bump up in scripts as a result.
BTW: Before any of our "short friends" start attacking this latter statement, I do not expect this bump in the next week or two...more likely over the course of the 3 months.
Janet's culture and cult at FDA...

Based on most of your posts, I realize that you do not read much but to say that barely anyone knows is laughably asinine.
I know that you love your short position, but your posts (such as the one I'm replying to) simply reduce your already near-nonexistent credibility to a value of zero or less.
