Quite a turnaround from down 1 1/4 to up 1/2...guess many people really had some doubts about the drug, and pulling it for a better application will make the chances better for acceptance and less for rejection, which is what I think too many people thought would happen. Since the stock is now heading up...looks to be the case.
43 was a real ceiling for this one and now we have a bit of clearer sailing to the upside.

Chris, The deal between Abbott and Vivus is for Europe, Japan, etc. The FDA approval process and those of the countries that are involved are independent, but perhaps no less stringent. This set-back probably will not help over seas approval, but the door is not shut IMO.

Have a great holiday,
