Hmmm... long responses from Dr. Harmon are oft dangerous, so maybe it was a Good Thing.

CORR, kinda a bimodal pipeline. You must love Integrillin first, then all else is forgiven. They seem to have a few good prospects in anti-platelet factors and I think a sleeper in signal transduction for congestive heart failure. Most of it is pre-clinical and Phase I/II.
I notice their Help Wanted shows they are still heavily into screening new drug candidates as well. I like their ability (plus admittedly a lot of luck) to get Integrillin to market, and I like Vaughn Killian (ex-Marion Labs guy)since he seems to know how to survive in the cardio world where so many have bit it. CLTR could learn a few things (sorry, sorry, I promised not to talk about CLTR anymore). So I think they have a few more actual products in the pipe that will come to market.

They just did a SPO to pay for marketing Integrillin, probably what dropped the stock price recently. Previously rumored to be a target of Chiron, but they could fit neatly into a couple of pharmas.

SNAP, yes, agree that is their likely destiny. They'll have to pry SNAP out of my cold, dead fingers, or at least offer a reasonable premium and they can have it...
