I had cashed out of my sold puts a while back, but I bought a little stock today in the $8.50s. Relistor is off to a slower start than I expected, apparently because Wyeth was a bit gunshy about making marketing expenditures before approval, when approval was not a given. Rumor has it this has been corrected. See this post concerning the WYE cc:

I gather there is data on PRO140 coming tomorrow. I would guess the data will be good, and should help the stock going forward, with the caveat that even a good HIV drug is going to be tough commercial sledding if it's injection only.

I remember the Lucentis launch, where DNA actually booked 10 million in sales the day after it was approved! With the FDA having gone from cautious mode to ultra-cautious mode, drug companies may also be cautious about committing to a fast start, since that would be wasted money if the FDA punts or gives the thumbs down. Going forward this means, buying pullbacks after approvals -- rather than trying to anticipate them -- is probably the best strategy.

Cheers, Tuck
