I can't believe the buying opportunity for BMY right now!

I work in sales for a competing pharmaceutical company, and all of my customers are drooling at the prospect of the soon to be launched Omapatrilat.

I've been told by investigators in double-blinded trials, that "you can't blind me to the effect of this drug". It's that much better at lowering blood pressure than anything else available. This drug has multiple mechanisms, and has the ability to dramatically increase NO synthesis (the key to protection against the complications of Coronary Artery Disease).

Studies to further demonstrate it's superiority will be presented at the American college of Cardiology Meeting in Anaheim, March 10-16.

Look for a run up at this point, or even sooner if the FDA "Fast- Tracked" approval comes through sooner than the early April expectation.

Omapatrilat, which has completed late stage phase 3 studies, will be the "Lipitor" of blood-pressure lowering. (If you're not aware, Lipitor does $4 billion yearly in North America). In my opinion, the lay people who are out chasing the biotech sector, and buying anything with the word "gene" in it have completely lost it.
