The market had 0 inkling of ampha getting approved. Hell, not even Watson knew they were going to get approved until they did
If this was true ( and we'll never know for sure) it just shows you how clueless everyone is about the dealings that happen in the backroom.
I said from day one that it's foolish to invest on either what the FDA does or on any court case. Period. Everyone here kept on counting about how much Amphastar and Watson were going to owe Momenta and not one person here would even consider the fact that it could be Momenta/NVS that would have to write the check. I brought it up repeatedly and was laughed at.
