quid,

<MLNM/COR>

Well one can't overemphasize the importance of having a significant marketed product. It allows you to build a sales force and to in-license other products. As a friend commented to me, look at DNA and Rituxan. He also pointed out that having the marketing and experienced management from COR in some sense leverages MLNM's own later-stage pipeline.

Thus while I can quibble about the price and some about the "fit" I can't really argue with the move taken as a whole.

I thought integrilin was going to benefit substantially from the DNA hookup. (In fact I had a few CORR shares tucked away that I was about to ditch at tax-loss selling time). I don't quite understand what has happened to sales. ReoPro has apparently done even worse - I continue to believe integrilin will steal more sales from ReoPro.

MLNM was probably too nice to re-negotiate the deal when the integrilin sales continued low. <g>
