... thats what I thought... exited NVS @ 40.80 or so... too bad! I like what I have read so far. I will buy back in when the (macro) environment is favourable. FWIW

Regards,
Peter

I think you made a good buy in the sector. There was a big increase in short interest on the stock in May on NVS in New York. Data just out.
I guess many were expecting a big selloff after the cancer news and placed a lot of short bets.
To me the increase seems too much and therefore believe we should get a nice rally in the stock very near term--to at least 45.
