Opalapril, I like the potential for continuity of posters that may no longer post elsewhere but I just don't understand the concept. Suppose XOMA had somehow received approval for Neuprex for Meningococcemia and then the news hit that P III for trauma was halted for lack of efficacy. The stock would have gone down 50% , with the only difference being it would have declined from a higher level.

I just do not see how one avoids regulatory or even just the risk involved in trials.
