Thanks for your evaluation of today's FDA action, Dan.

<< A local therapy would not be expected to be a first line therapy >>

Good point.

Perhaps the negative market reaction was more reflective of the earnings report than the FDA panel approval? I was a little disappointed in their revenues, but I really didn't know what to expect, and I really didn't care too much about the quarterly financials at this time, unless they were really out of line.

Regards, Bob

The BUY recs today emphasized the fact that Panretin was the first of several drugs and the approval rec was major milestone for LGND. I think that today's selling was due to selling on the news, losses a nickel more than consensus, and misunderstanding of the market for the drug.
