"After the patient's procedure is finished, there is a period of observation (until the risk abates, as Dew has told us) and it is possible that that might slip a day or two."

I realize that but these operations are not major surgeries that require extended hospital stays. At most, the patient will be hopsitalized and under surgical risk for a week (two weeks at the maximum for say a spleen operation). So, let us be generous and add three weeks to Jan 7, that brings us to Monday January 28, which means that they must have had the data all this week. Top line data relating to number of symptomatic DVT's cannot be that complicated to decipher, hence the reason I am a bit concerned by this delay. It is possible that one or more patients may have had complications delaying their release from the hosptital, and thus the data is not fully in hand yet, but that is a bit worrisome as well although the delay of hospitalization may have nothing to do with DVTs...

"If you really believe that management is sitting on the fully analyzed data, it seems to me that you have only one choice -- sell in the next 100 minutes or so."

Obviously I am not fully convinced of that otherwise I would have sold. However, I am suspicious enough that I am mulling selling some...
