17:39 Business Week comments on CVTX

According to BusinessWeek, CV Therapeutics (CVTX ) has been bouncing around on rumors of what the FDA might do about Ranexa. The stock dropped from $18 in Nov to $12 on Dec. 8, when an FDA panel sought more data on the drug causing concerns among analysts. But as of Jan 21 the stock had risen back up to $15.17 which may be due to the Jan. 21 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Assn., which said Ranexa significantly reduced angina frequency. Some investors now say it may get early FDA approval and although CVTX has yet to make any money the approval of Ranexa could be a major coup for co. With the stock's low price and better prospects, CVTX could be buyout bait for big drugmakers who are purchasing biotechs to fill their pipeline (In late 2000, as takeover talk swirled, CVTX soared to $80).
