Anthony,

Do you think IMNX might be a possible short candidate here? The stock ran from about $50 last Oct. to $150 recently based on approval of Enbrel, a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There are great expectations for the success of this drug, however, it may not be as successful as anticipated.

While there are many treatments for RA, there is no cure and patients tend to try every new drug that comes out. Enbrel was approved only for use by advanced patients who have failed other remedies. It requires injections.

Monsanto just come out with Celebrex, a pill approved for treatment of RA that is marketed by Pfizer. Merck should have a new pill approved for RA this summer. With this new competition and patient's tendencies to move from one new product to the next, IMNX could hit hard if sales fall off.

The stock has been volatile recently in a range of approximately $130 to $150.
