Anavex Life Sciences Corp (AVXL)

1. Wall Street money that will help advance future pipeline drugs

2. A potentially complementary drug that works well with A273 (imagine if this combo ended up being the new Anavex Plus that Dr. Missling originally hoped to pair with Aricept)

3. A potentially lucrative blood diagnostic test that would be used in millions of health screenings every year

4. It would also allow Dr. Missling to retain final decision making authority, something he'll probably have to give up when he partners with a larger firm or agrees to a buyout.

I have no stake in SAVA. But I do think the blood test could be a nice addition to Anavex's portfolio if it works and gets FDA approval. The medical device world is also very lucrative and would be a good additional source of recurring revenue to fund future pipeline development. Similar to how J&J develops drugs, but also sells Band-Aids.
