Aquisition is a very likely scenario because acquisitions and Dr. Javitt go hand in hand. (Articles/bios written in different years explains varying #'s of successful acquisitions cited.) An acquisition in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, depending on timing. If it occurs after FDA approval, we could be big winners. If it occurs before, smaller winners.
