Wow, that is what I call real "burning". It seems quite high (about $300,000/employee) for a company with no in-house/capital intensive R&D. Hopefully they won't waste any of it supporting the price of the stock or doing excesive PR or they will run out of cash before a year's time. I think I have reached my own conclusion: I will consider getting in at around 6-7, if it looks like they can make peace with the FDA folks and get Citicoline moving. But given the screw up with Redux, and the weak clinical test results, I doubt the FDA will do anything without seen further testing and I doubt any of this will be ready before late 1998. One of the attractives of IPIC for potential and current corporate partners seemed to be the perception of IPIC being very good at getting drugs approved. Otherwise, why not sponsor the clinical research themselves instead of sharing with IPIC? after all they already have the drug(s). In addition some of the partners, Lilly, Merck, etc. may decide not to continue having the name of their companies/drug(s) associated with the "makers of Redux" and thus cancell their contracts.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful input.
