Tamoxifen was originally derived from a plant source but is now produced synthetically, I believe. I've just begun to see advertisements aimed at women to take a standardized breast cancer risk assessment test for possible use of it prophylactically if their risk factors are high enough. This would have to be an ever increasing market as the baby boom generation of women ages and their breast cancer risk increases.

Very interesting stuff.

Doug,

That thump you just heard was my head and the wall. I can't believe I didn't see this one earlier. These guys are 20 minutes driving time from my house, off I-75 and Norwood Exit. This company used to be more heavily into generic drugs. At least it is a slow rally. I'm doing some DD on DRMD now and looking at the chart for a buy point (If everything checks out). -IMO-

Good trading,
JEB
