Actually I suspect that the real competition may well come from oral insulin. EMIS had a product in clinical trials.

At the time they were hyping their Oral Heparin program, they also seemed to be having considerable success with an insulin product in PhII trials.

Fortunately I sold them for a small profit when I began to feel that there was more BS than substance with the heparin PRs. I haven't followed them since.

Hi Tuck,

Last night on Mad Money, Cramer panned NKTR saying,

"I thought Exubera would ship in June. It Didn't. Thus they'll have a dismal Q. Sell it."

I'm under the impression that it will have a limited shelf life; that the market will react to the IMS sales figures; and that this reaction will most likely happen by the end of July.

Any views?

Thanks,
Ian
