V1 & Michael,

I agree that they may well still be negotiating here, but the lack of an immediate partner announcement does hurt. I sold my call options and part of my holding on the announcement, but still have kept a reasonable sized position.

As V1 pointed out, they had a deadline with the approval announcement, and big pharma don't move quickly, particularly during the huge crush of office parties near year-end. <g>

Niaspan sales have been very strong. According to a post on Yahoo:

New: 20,526
Total: 51,922

which I believe are all-time highs.

I'm not displeased that BMY didn't bite - there would always have been the worry that they weren't wholly behind the product. I suspect that they will ultimately end up with some sort of partnering arrangement here, perhaps along the same lines that SEPR/ABT did with Xopenex.
