Nice move in this stock today guys. Congrats to everyone who scored. Keep in mind you still have over 2 years for human clinical trials. I have a lead for anyone who is interested on a similair small biotech working on Alzheimers cure. Cortex pharmacueticals (CORX) is just 2 dollars, but was as high as 7 1/2 a little over a year ago when CNBC profiled it after its drug was proven to work on rats. Sound familiar?

I am telling you this because it subsequently fell to 1 1/2 after it became apparent that they were 2 years away from conclusive clinical trials. So the lesson is don't marry ENMD yet, they still have a long way to go and you may be able to buy it substantially cheaper. In the meantime, it is now almost 2 years later for CORX and they are almost done with phase 2 human clinical trials, and will have results by mid summer. this is a pure play on Alzheimers treatment, and warrants taking a look, because if the drug has efficacy in humans we will know in just a couple of months and there will be real cash coming in much sooner than in ENMD, which will take at least 2 more years. CORX has fallen out of the limelight and is incredibly cheap, BUT, with the spotlight turning to small pureplay biotechs after Entremeds explosive pop today, I don't think CORX will be in the shadows much longer. Take a look, it can't hurt.....best of luck...........;^)

I am not pushing shark cartilage, but I am saying that "anti-angiogenesis" is REAL and any company that develops an FDA backed drug to inhibit angiogenesis AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, be the first one, we make WINDFALL profits!!!!

I know know first hand that anti-angiogenesis works because of my mother's experience with stage IV breast cancer and her remarkable recovery and remission after 2 doctors lost hope. Well the shark cartilage worked on her to the doctors' amasement!!! Now there are no more signs of her tumors after 6 years of shark cartilage therapy and no other medication.

regards
TOM

Max90, ref shark cartilage and hype,
From Business Week in April you may be interested to learn:

"Researchers have found some proteins in shark cartilage that do block blood vessel formation. Bioengineered versions include Neovastat, made by Aeterna Laboratories of Candada; squalamine from Magainin Pharmaceuticals in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.; and Troponin I, from Boston Life Sciences in Boston. All have dramatically reduced the size of tumors in mice without toxic side effects.
