================================================== SuperGen Receives Orphan Drug Status.
Supergen, the most recent addition to the Biotech Stock Review at $2.69, announced getting Orphan Drug status on Decitabine today. We originally liked SUPG for a trade, because the company had the cohones to say in a press release that the weakness in the the stock price was attributable to a "margin call" by Chairman. It is now looking more like an "investment."
"Investments" are speculative stocks that work out, "speculative stocks" are investments that don't. SUPG has about $49 million in cash.

Orphan drug status promotes development of drugs to treat rare diseases or conditions by protecting them from competition for certain periods from other medicines in the same class of drugs.
The designation is granted for treatments that may offer significant benefit in patients with serious or life-threatening diseases that occur in not more than 200,000 patients. SuperGen's drug has already been granted orphan drug status for another use.
Reuters reported its experimental treatment for sickle cell anemia could receive up to seven years of marketing exclusivity under a special designation granted by U.S. regulators.
Dow Jones reported in addition to potential market exclusivity, orphan drug status provides tax incentives for up to 50% of a company's investment in U.S. clinical research, available funding to support clinical trials, and study design assistance.
================================================= New Ideas Coming.
We are looking at 3 new ideas.
Two in healthcare, one in Hollywood.
One has a revolutionary chain of pharamacies, linked to Doctor's via a handheld device. (Biotech Stock Review)
One claims the ability to cure alcohol and drug dependence. (Biotech Stock Review)
One believes it can earn $0.17 next year and has a price under $0.17. (Hollywood Stock Review)
SURELY....one of these ideas can make us rich again, right ?
Stay tuned, if nothing else, we're going to have a lot of fun with these companies.
