Tekcor,
<But it kinda reminded me of how Amphastar was not talked about much on this board >

Amphastar is/was a fat tail event. To be more specific, it was assumed to be a skinny tail but turned out to be a fat one. As such it came out of nowhere and caused a lot of damage

Amphastar know how was ridiculed or minimised coupled with the assumption of high fda hurdles hence the foregone conclusion of impossibility. Hence the unblinking gaze of Mordor was fixed upon Teva ( sorry, can't resist. I introduced my 12 yr daughter to Tolkien and she is getting a kick out of it) and missed amphastar coming out of left field.

I remember myself a few weeks ago fussing about mnta being " a sure thing", which to a contrarian person like myself, is too good to be true. What I mean by "a sure thing" is that I have come to assume that Amphastar was DOA, Teva's minor letter is definitely not minor, m-copax approval is unknown but could happen anytime, fob deals are delayed, but so what the cash is piling up by the day. There are worse places to be in than mnta.

I have come to believe that Victor Niederhoffer is dead right when he grumbles that lady fortuna is always fickle. Just when every thing seems to line up right, then bam. That is why I try extra never to offend the gods :)
