Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

JZ and the "nullified" spa question from the CC reminds me of what Fareed Zakaria once said of Sarah Palin: "It's not that she doesn't know the right answer. It's that she clearly does not understand the question."

The question was (in my opinion) -- "Joe, has a company that met 100% of their obligations in an iron-clad spa ever been told anything other than "approved" on their pdufa date? "

What struck me as terrifying is that Joe (in that meek voice he used throughout the CC) passed the question along to someone else, who sounded just as bewildered as him when he answered, "no, I do not believe so."

Ok, there is a chance he was speaking in terms of broken completely rather than merely delayed after receiving a crl and negotiations taking place (I doubt it). That's neither here nor there.

My point is, if there were to be a game of Jeopardy, or Trivial Pursuit, etc, which tested one's knowledge on this drug and its many possibilities, and this process and the many ways it can play out, how/why is it that the top contributors on this board would absolutely ANNIHILATE the amarin team comprised of people who are paid tens of millions of dollars to do this job??

What have Joe/team been doing since July of 2012? How/why do they not sound prepared for events that they should recognize could occur -- even if the chances of them occurring were remote?

Joe talked like he was the biggest swinging d!ck on the street and was placed in charge of what Eike Batista would call an "idiot proof" asset. Yet, just like Eike, we've seen this asset plunge to depths unimaginable. I think JZ should receive just as much "fan mail" as the contributors are sending to the fda.
