Anavex Life Sciences Corp (AVXL)

Where is the partnership or Joint Venture that he has said many times, he is open to pursuing. How hard is it to pick up a phone once a month, and make a couple calls. Over the course of 5 years, how tough is that to do? Is that so hard, if you have a compound worth billions and billions of dollars? People must be awful dumb in Big Pharma not to see they can make billions and billions of dollars.

This is the line of questioning that torments me about AVXL. There has to be dozens, if not hundreds of highly educated, highly compensated people in BP firms globally whose job is to ferret out those acquisition opportunities that would be potential gold mines for their employers, not to mention their own bonuses. What are they thinking, or not thinking when it comes to a little $600 million MC that supposedly has a game-changing pipeline in its portfolio, that has survived years of safety testing and through multiple trials for different diseases has not yet experienced failure? Too much risk? Seriously? Lilly (for example) is a $300 billion company, other BP giants are similarly capitalized...it all makes no sense me.
