I'm still in a short position. As you know I got in at 25.375. I'm trying to get 20. I still think we will see 15 again soon. The in-stent trial is completed and the denovo lesion trial is going a bit rocky (as evidenced by the delay in completion and the increase in the size of the study. Technically speaking, in-stent radiation is not a good place for electron treatments to excell (electrons won't penetrate the stent). The data won't be reported for a few months on the stent trial and the no-stent trial is going rocky as discussed above. Since the company is not making any money, the average investor is not likely to cut them much slack. Anything less than stellar performance is likely to hurt the stock. If J&J is planing to buy the company, and does their due diligence, they will wait till the results of the study are published to get the company cheap.

My guess is similar to yours however. I think that if I cover my short near here (i'm looking for 20), I might be able to sell it again when if the market momentum takes it back over 23 or 24.
