Doesn't fit the criteria that I'd usually apply, but....

I started trying to think of what companies might benefit from Merck's setback in depression. I think a good answer is SNAP. Together with Lilly, they have three molecules in development (do your own homework and check that, as it's only from some notes that I have), one of which is in human testing.

Merck also has a relatively advanced program with SNAP in BPH.

So, I thought that perhaps, given that they appear to be one molecule away from commanding hefty premiums for whatever they come up with (that is, the business plan is maturing on the breadth of the three clinical programs, including Lilly for migraine), that they might be a decent candidate as a takeover? Lots of partners, an independent, quiet company.... maybe when hell freezes over?

Any thoughts?
