How long does it take for a partnership deal to get inked ?

Suppose the first thing signed by both parties are confidentiality agreements, wouldn't you think ?

So, if a partner is to be announced, its anyones guess as to when, except that the ER/CC is fastly approaching in 2 to 3 weeks.

I would think the analyst's will be probing questions on CC

yes you could say he did not handle it delicately but on the other hand he was blunt and clear. He is focusing on $$$ making enterprises. He won't dilute the o/s or fund the clinical trial. He wants a partner so it seems the company is confident they can get the partnership without hurting existing financials or revenues. So yes it did hurt the PPS in the short run but the price was going up on hopes of FDA approval perhaps too quickly from $2 range up to $6.30. I think the low 4s stabilizing and popping back to $5+++ should happen as long as earnings are good. Longterm this looks great so i am adding here on the dips. And in any case if you have a large position you could have made $$ selling at 6.30 as opposed to now but then when this is $15 or $20 will it matter ?
