Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

[ORBAPU]

It's not a linear world. Some big companies in addition to the ones you mentioned (not a complete list):

GM: Bankrupt, raised from the dead.
GE: Kicked out of the DOW 30.
Merrill Lynch: Rescued/sold.
Dell: Who?
Lehman Brothers: Bankrupt.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals: Hiding behind a new name, Bausch Health Companies, hoping people forget the scandals.

You get the idea.

Who brought OPEC to heel? Not Exxon Mobil, Shell, etc. No, it was wildcatters in North Dakota and Texas.

Who lands their rockets on land or an ocean barge after launch so they can reuse them? Not Boeing or Lockheed Martin. No, it is some upstart called SpaceX.

Anther concern is why any BP would want a cheap pill that actually resolves disease with no side effects to treat with more pills. Amarin is a disruptive company and in my opinion there is a lot more disruption to come when Vascepa's ability to treat chronic disease caused by systemic inflammation is substantiated by outcome trials. Few companies can internally disrupt themselves. They become fat, lazy, and risk averse as they grow. Apple and Amazon seem to be exceptions to date. Examples you didn't mention.

The article below reinforces the reality these guys can't compete honestly on their own merits. Otherwise they wouldn't put so much effort into unethical practices.

I'd prefer Amarin GIA....Like Apple did.
