3 billion sales, 50 percent profit margin

flo has a basis for hope, not belief.

When do we get to discuss management 110% bonuses next?
What discussion? Rick Shea's typical droning is all I heard. Was there a Q&A on the live call that I missed?
The tenor of the discussion made it sound like MNTA is pretty confident the case will be reheard. That also seems to be the view of various patent experts who have weighed in on the case.
MNTA's Compensation Committeee:
Bonuses all around!
Abject failure? 10%!
Close but not quite there?: 10%!
Shareholders are stupid lambs: 10%!
You didn't accomplish anything this year?: 10%!
What, you still want more?: 10%!
And here is another 10% of your salary for not meeting the goals outlined in the executive incentive program.
nice racket.
RAH! RAH! RAH!
no need to discuss the spelling, or etymology, of pom pons, i hope.
i kid. good for you and your future seeking alpha article.
No. This might help explain it:

why do they guide for operating expenses? because their revenue outlook, pending law suits, is so uncertain?
guiding to operating expenses net of personal greed and MIT royalties is just irritating.
useful? in what way? surely not as an investor.
Don't many, if not most, men his age have prostate cancer?
Of course, he doesn't know if these are new positions. It's just a (pointless) hobby of his.
Flobu, your head count omits people who don't work there any longer. Those who went on to better things. Those who were terminated for beating the boss at golf. Those for taking the last donut. Etc.
Still. What do these people do on a day-to-day basis? The FOB's aren't ready to go? How many years does it take?
WTF do the employees do all day?
Yogi Berra? GW? Romney?
I thought the call was positive in that he dismissed the idea of something sinister going on behind closed doors. Might be a good time to average down...
I attribute Rubins's presence to GS's coverage of Teva. Questions were purely Copaxone related.
The recent launch of a competitive generic Lovenox triggered a change in the contract terms with our collaboration partner, Sandoz, from a hybrid profit share/royalty to a royalty.
really flobu? i hope you didn't get screwed on the licensing of hagar the horrible cola, too.

i think a launch does preclude a settlement. unless mnta's platform isn't all that...
If Watson launches, what incentive is there for MNTA to settle? Watson is indemnified by Amphastar anyway - right?
jbog, you so crazy right all the time.
discounted value of expected future cash flows. that's what smart people look at.
In recognition of doing the job you get paid to do, here's 40 grand.
On January 5, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), approved a $40,000 cash bonus to Bruce A. Leicher, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, in recognition of his efforts regarding various litigation matters and government affairs endeavors undertaken for the Company during 2011.
check year end incentives...
Further, there was no necessity to do a deal at this moment in time
so.
Veterans in the 20-24 age bracket have an unemployment rate of nearly 30%, more than double the 14.5% unemployment rate of nonveterans in the same age group, and veterans of all ages have an unemployment rate of 11.8% compared with the civilian unemployment rate of nearly 9%.
What confused people is that you didn't say the crash would be up.

you are referencing things that are publicly available and common knowledge.
do your own homework, if you doubt it.
Is the hybrid profit share/royalty agreement new or part of the original 2003 agreement?
probably because the man behind the curtain doesn't know what he's doing. i'd guess that man isn't from proskauer rose.
On the other hand, given the dates involved why did it take them 5 days to file the emergency motion , in fact after one of the deadlines had expired.
thanks for the daily blather, IG.
IG, if you insist on posting these assumptions, please label them as the WAG (Wild Ass Guesses) that they are.
assume assume believe speculate believe speculate.
do you read your own posts? do they seem lucid, to you?
Don't you think that the word "probably" in and of itself mitigates the rest his statement? He said it in closing, after being back on his heels the whole presentation, knowing that there would be no questions following. This is your basis for demanding insider buys?
CW and RS are just poseurs getting paid. Like your buddies over at GTCB were. They just got a little luckier. Now you know. Now you can stop being indignant when they let you down.
I believe RS's off-handed comment was that MNTA might be a good buy...
let it go already. call out the dorks who were posting MNTA bank & trust. but then just let it go. they aren't necessarily wrong, yet.
maybe. but the definition and your supposition are different things.
let DD, explain his use of "imprecise" in context.
imprecise? he said "...should have in excess of $350 million" at year end.
Your model is better than the CFO's?
didn't you think the same thing at $20/share.
same patents as the Teva suit?
Shea hinted at a law suit. Projected $350 million+ cash at year end. Not pulling back from any projects. 190 employee head count.
Maybe I misunderstood him but it sounded like they are already in royalty mode.
