I think the biggest reason press releases like today's do not lift the stock more is due to the small number of study participants. Management has already stated that the trial sizes can be small since every person enrolled achieves statistically significant reductions in LDL-cholesterol.

Yes, ISIS 301012 is a slam dunk. Management stated in their May/14th update that they are contacted every week by big Pharma asking to partner. I'm hoping PFE partners and we get a $100 million upfront payment. I'm looking for new highs as we get closer to finalizing the deal in the 3rd qtr.
