Currently, no one really knows what the heck is going on. People at CEPH and CHIR say that they take the news as neither positive or negative. Analysts are actually spitting out out opinions favoring approval as well as denial of Myo. The bottom line is no one knows. CEPH really needs to come out and say something here, before they lose their investors for good. This announcement was completely unexpected, and the way I understand it, there cannot be another advisory panel meeting; that is why it was "cancelled" and not postponed. At this point, Myo will be either approved/disapproved on May 11, or, worst case scenario in my opinion, the May 11th date may be delayed for further review. Whatever the case, the put/call strategy talked about even on this board is definitely the safest thing. Regardless of all the support from patients and political people, this thing has been going on for a year now remember. People are starting to get fed up and restless; so I think May will be the last straw for many either way. All we can do now is just wait for more info. Good luck to all.

<<''At this point, I'm fairly confident Cephalon doesn't have a strong enough case for
getting the drug approved. I think it's problematic that after two years of reviewing it, the
FDA still needs more time,'' said CIBC Oppenheimer analyst Matt Geller>>

This is the same analyst who said CORR was in big trouble before approval. Then upped it to a strong buy from hold and raised the price target to $30. He knows as much as you or I.

Make up your own mind.
