MDCO is up for 3rd day on a roll and is closing its May 13 DG, the day it announced that it was canceling its PIII of Cangrelor,because results were not showing advantage over Plavix.<g>

Today's volume is already above 5M > 8x its ADV, but below the 15,303,700 that traded on May 13.<g>

Today it announced that it had received a new patent for Angiomax, and on Monday it had announced the publication in Lancet of data showing that Angiomax reduced cardiac mortality and improved survival in a study involving 3000 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarctions,compared with those that were treated with heparin plus a platelet glycoprotein inhibitor.(Both groups had been pre-treated with angioplasty.)

But the stock still faces a good amount of resistance at the $10 level. MDCO has 4Qs of better revenues, but earnings have been lower in the last 3Qs and the EE for 2009 are around $0.30 vs. the $0.72 earned in 2008.
