#136 RE: NFLFan #135

Pretty close to where my level II quote stands somewhere around that slightly higher in the 7.25 range when approval is due. Shame I forgot October 30 lands on a Saturday so Friday should get interesting investors are either in or out that day and risk the approval. It's short interest is ridiculous on a lot of the BIOTECH stocks they should be creaming shorts soon. I am surprised that BIOD isn't on there considering it has more short interest than BCRX which I also own. It is crazy on on how many days these jerks get to cover. JMHO
