Glad to see you are so optimistic about a large price rise upon the NDA filing for Panretin. I am skeptical, however, since this is old news and should already be priced into the stock. I would guess 2 points at the very most. I would expect quite a pop in anticipation of FDA approval, but that is at least 6 months away. I hope I am wrong and you are right!
