Mark looked at SNUS fundamentals some more:

-the fundamentals are like any biotech (no forseeable earnings, cash flow negative, current ratio of 1 etc), but this stuff is discounted in the price; last Q they lost 60% less money than expected out of them
-their bet is based on echogen which they have submitted for FDA approval
-the bearish technicals (head and shoulder) on the stock is a result of investors being frustrated because of the delays in getting FDA approval
-the FDA approval is expected early 1998 FWIW, although these beasts are unpredictable
-Has about 51% institutional holding of its 8.5 M shares

One needs to be really quick on the trigger with this one and the real short killer could be the FDA approval which could gap the stock up significantly; there is no obvious problem apparent other than the investor frustration that could tank the stock.
So it seems like a pure technical play and the TA and FA are not in great sync at this time.
But I could be wrong as always.
