It appears that some GNC stores are sold out Anatabloc and are awaiting shipments. I have encountered this at three out of the last five stores I visited, and I have seen others make similar posts on the internet. At least in the short term, it appears that demand is outstripping supply. Maybe that is why one store I visited said that a guy comes in and buys all the Anatabloc on the shelf when a shipment comes in (because he is concerned about a shortage after the Thyroid results come out).

I certainly hope that Star's management has considered how big and how fast the ramp could be after word gets out. It's not hard to imagine every GNC store selling a bottle or two per day (after a big name doctor appears on a show like Dr. Oz).

The only analyst covering Star Scientific is Otis Bradley of Gilford Securities. Here is his November Report with 2013 earnings estimates of 1.50/share. Keep in mind, he based his estimate only on sales of Anatabloc for the Thyroid market and the diabetes market. I think a lot more analysts will initiate coverage in Q1 2013 (after the Thyroid ASAP trial results come out).
