<<reaper, ICOS got their approvable letter this morning>>

Well, not exactly. The reports that I am reading show that the launch date has been delayed maybe 6-ish months and there is additional information requested. I frankly don't see that in the press release but I haven't read it closely and the stock is down.

Stock looks to be down 35% right now; that to me looks like an over-reaction to this news but given how weak the biotechs have been recently you can understand how people shoot first and ask later.

I will be covering/selling puts at the open and will probably buy some at $26 (if it stays there) to see if I can get a scalp on the long side.

Another good day.

Good biotech lesson here... an "approvable letter" is not one you want to receive :)
