Links for three analyses of Asian market growth and sizes
Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Market
The pharma market world over will experience significant shifts. Asia-Pacific region will emerge as the fastest growing pharmaceutical market over the recent past. The reason for this positive shift can be attributed to the low costs and favorable regulatory environment. This region has experienced important developments regarding contract manufacturing, especially in generics and APIs. Increased R&D activities in the region has helped Asia-Pacific pharmaceutical industry to achieve an estimated market size of around US$ 187 Billion in 2009. Here, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 12.6% during 2010-2012. It can, in fact, become the global API production hub in next few years.
pharmaceutical sales are growing at a fast rate in India, China, Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia due to the rising disposable income, several health insurance schemes (that ensures the sales of branded drugs), and intense competition among top pharmaceutical companies in the region (that has boosted the availability of low cost drugs). China’s pharmaceutical market will continue to grow at a 20+ % annually, and will contribute 21% of overall global growth through 2013. India - 3rd Largest Producer of Pharmaceuticals Across the World- is already a US$ 8.2 Billion pharmaceutical market. The Indian pharmaceutical industry is further expected to grow by 10% in the year 2010.

The eight pharmaceutical markets of South East Asia are developing at markedly different speeds and are characterised by both contrasting and similar macroenvironments. These markets are projected to have a total pharmaceutical market value of US$69.1 billion at retail prices in 2016.

In 2005, Asia’s pharmaceutical market size was approximately USD106.8 billion, with Japan making up about half of the market with a domestic consumption of about USD58 billion. The average per capita consumption in Asia, a population of 3 billion people, stood at USD36 per person. In contrast with the US at USD839 and Europe at USD439, the industry in Asia offers much room for growth.

what about "rest of asia"... ?
anyone know what Harv's hobbies are?
sports? wine? fly fishing? boats?
GLD about to boosh.
I can't put it into dollars and cents. They have the largest toolchest in understanding what a drug "sees" as it flows through blood and they understand glycoproteins better than anyone.
how have ex GlycoFi employees been keeping busy at Merck? MNTA is doing things with nuts and bolts and analytics, building molecular robots. The genetic approach might not be done yet but it isn't getting anywhere.

endothelial address is glycoprotein. mnta does glycoprotein.

San Diego, wish I could be there.
oh my gosh can you believe it????? aria springing 52 week highs in dec/january... eazy run to $16 but i haven't drawn any lines on a chart yet.
standard shipping containers are 20 or 40 feet long and 10 feet wide... sounds like the processor is completely modular now and could be assembled in one place and shipped with three trucks.
13 by next OEX doesn't sound bearish at all.
Gap closed
Took a long time for that $compQ gap to close, but there you have it. Debt package fueled.
I feel a major biotech bull market is about to propel at least 4 stocks towards multi baggers... aria cris nymx bpax
I often look to how close the 13ema and 20sma get together... I believe you are familar with tasty boosh... I like gravity from moving averages and I like gaps and ancient monster support. $11 pipe would send this to $16 by Jan1.
Agree with both of ya. I have a long thread on this board about 11. Turns out, here we are at 11. November 11 2011 is this Friday, and of course it is Veterans Day (thanks dad).
Will there be pipe at $11?
I love buying stuff just after financing... new position.
[OT] MF global puts... so last week I heard on Bloomberg that the $1 puts were the highest volume options traded in the name and the stock at that point was still up around $2.
now that the name is gone to the pink sheets... what do those put holders get?
OK, right this minute, anyone want to sell me 4 december $11 calls at $1.45?
not yet dude... this is it... almost perfect... high volume high reversal the other day and now a massive gap down (to fill on the way up)... the 50sma for my QID calls is my conservative target but that gap is hanging there and the newsflow for the broad market has things locked into a trading range... even if EU irons out... US debt deadlines loom.
I got rid of my qid calls the other day at profit but lost about $150 holding onto 100 sh of qid until today.
Ok. How often does any chart launch through 50 and 200 sma with a gap on low volume (daily and weekly) without a retest sometime neartime?
I am short again very soon, but only to the 50sma or the gap on the naz... Unless europe unwinds on wednesday afternoon.

One more test of the 50 sma... Specially for the naz to close the gap.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$COMPQ&p=D&yr=0&mn=6&dy=0&id=p99473485904
On minute charts I see upside down h&s at neckline right now.
Quitting while ahead... Sold the calls... Not the shares yet.
I'm holding a few qid calls and shares watching that one last gap down near 50 sma on $compQ
I bought a few nov puts and moved my qid calls down to $44 and out to nov.
nah, violence in Greece... one more gap on $compq to fill... OEX... going to be a long wick today.
ARIA nice low volume shakedown...it is one of the favorites... not true for tech overall... I'm watching the heavy volume on qqq and qid... $compq is going to close the other two gaps and that is what I'm trading for... would be sweet if it closed it by friday and would be suspicious if it reversed monday or tuesday.
very active premarket on a lot of biotechs.
bpax onty nymx affy arry cris mnta aria nvax cort alks amln idix
all of them have some activity when usually only one or two does.
could you elaborate on the fundamental shift... is it the final slovakian signature supporting euro bail outs or something specific for jbii that i missed? i havent read the board since i was kicked down to one post a day and can't keep track of the legal procedings...
because if it is some broad market mojo i still think many gaps will close... good thing about jbii is it had some volume.... rest of market was in floatation mode... and how freakin often does trend reverse right before oex. three gaps on the naz!!! i think naz could backfill to the 50sma next week and rsi would still hover above 50 and the world would resume a bullish course... the week after that.
gotta watch the gaps.... nasdaq gapped up 3 times this week on pathetic volume so market may take a ride next week to screw the bulls going into expiry... jbii has its own gap to fill... unless there is some crazy good news.
aria looks great... 50sma curving up now... but still.... everything, even aria... has a "roll over" look to it... buy the 50sma sometime next week!!!!!!! nothing ever bounds over an important moving average without retesting.

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$COMPQ&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p73019868924
I can't believe my eyes... a third gap up on $compq and a whole week of pathetic volume... I might be f ed for the october qid calls but have qid shares and added november qid calls today.
Sure thing. These low vol gaps are doomed, but looking back 3 months market looks pretty good.
