The stock is certainly in a breakout mode.

I hadn't heard about the rumor. Interesting.

The buyout rumor is interesting because it makes sense. Paul Freiman has made no secret of the fact that NTI was on the block. He simply recognized that no one was willing to pay what he believed the company was worth. With just Alzheimers, NTI is worth about what it's trading at. (Which by the way suggests that the downside risk is negligible). But, if the Diabetic Neuropathy trial is successful, as I believe it will be, NTI is worth 5 times its current valuation (Think 13% of a multibillion dollar market in pure profit - $130 million profit per billion in sales on a stock with less than 18 million shares outstanding. Do the math). If FRX has some preliminary evidence that the DN PIII is going to be positive, they would steal NTI at $14 per share.

I hope that this rumor is false. I believe the potential is about to be realized and it's mind boggling. I've patiently waited for this day and I can wait another year for the true value to be recognized.

Best regards
