Selling a royalty interest is probably the right move at this point - they are clearly confident that the stock will move higher. If they were bigger and more sophisticated financially they could do a deal like SEPR did selling converts that rely on their high volatility and match it with a call spread. But realistically they probably aren't big enough to to that.

No clue about their recent deal. But their Italian partners really seem to know what they are doing.

CTIC

They have stated that they expect to be able to raise at least 30 mUSD. Which is not very much considering their current burn rate.

I don't think the recently announced licensing arrangement is much to "bother" about. The company will either be very rich and famous or completely dead and forgotten before any drug from that product line will have reached its maturity.

This will by the way be NovusPharma's second try with the platinum drugs. The first time they didn't succeed.

EYET is getting all the action, but IMO the more valuable play at this time is NKTR. The alliances this company is building is outstanding. The coming insulin decision in 2005 will be the BIG BOY! Wish I owned more shares...(:<)
