The subtitle from today's news release:

"Salagen(R) Tablets is the First Prescription Pharmaceutical Available for Sjogren's Syndrome, an Autoimmune Disease Affecting Nearly 1 Million Americans"

One million people! What do we think? 5%...10% of this market (@ $1000 per patient per year)? Last year, Joseph von Meister estimated $1/share in earnings for MOGN in 1999, based on the NCI and international partners paying for phase II development of MGI 114. Assuming MGI Pharma gets the European deal for MGI 114, I think they have a real shot at it the buck-per-share earnings next year. If they get a good European deal, we have a real shot at a $20 stock this year.
