Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ARNA)

chestnut - shorts will be attempting anything to convince longs to sell. 6 days to launch and they are trying to plant seeds of failure everywhere. The mercenary writers will be pumping out articles with half truths and innuendo, as well as any talking heads they can buy to spew false and misleading info. This is the 'end game' now, the window is almost closed and they will be lobbing in everything they have left. Even after launch, be prepared to see false information about the uptake of Belviq. I just hope Arena and Eisai are proactive with PR updates to counter these attacks. Here are the lines to look for which mislead, are deceptive, and false. Most will consist of half-truths which they know the retail investor cannot prove or get their hands on.

Belviq's Rx's are slow out of the gate.
Belviq's misses early expectations.
Belviq's revenues will be only half of original estimates.
Doctor's questioning Belviq's effectiveness

Only the quarterly revenue numbers will be cast in stone, and they won't be able to refute those.

Desperate situations require desperate measures and actions!
