thank you again for that information especially about walmart not reporting as that will skew the numbers down a bit as I would feel that they would be a large supplier at least they are in our area. but it doesn't surprise me as Walmart is fairly secretive anyhow. i can believe easily the statement of tell them something to get them off the phone as it isn't their business anyway. I have also thought it might be illegal to give them this information anyhow as it would be insider information and could get someone in deep trouble. There have been cases tried for that type of information. but people will go to great lengths to get information early. but you would know I am sure how much stock you had and how much you now have so you would know how to order for future needs. I would think that information would be important but in this case you can probably get it in a day and delay the fill til then.

if you knew this then why did you give JButler #$%$ for saying it was malpractice for using it for people with vanity that are at a BMI of 25 when the doctor can easily diagnose stage 2 diabetic with out a lot of effort and I don't need to tell you how to get the test to read that do i. I was diagnosed as stage 2 and have never been diagnosed again in 6 yrs because i ate at the wrong time before the test. So it is easy to get that misdiagnosis and I was in the hospital at the time for a week for a car wreck.

boy if he ignores everyone that ignores him then he about has an empty board. lol hope he does me a favor and puts me on ignore,

I would agree then that this will make sales larger than scripts and be helpful in not only the june quarter but also the following quarter. Now I wonder when Eisai pays as delivered to them from the manufacturer or as the scripts are filled. Assuming that each pharmacy will eventually have 4 bottles on stock minimum you are looking at 80000 prescriptions that aren't filled but sold which is one million dollars toward the bonus objective of 250 million. if it is a high mover they may have to stock 8 bottles and this is getting even closer. just a thought running through my mind. Now the report on sunday will be scripts filled but the sales numbers reported at the end of June will be higher than the script numbers added up. as will they be every quarter. So ARNA gets paid for the supply chain as does Eisai with a possible buyback provision in the case of a recall or shelf expiration. not likely. Thank all of you that responded to my question so promptly.

yes thank you very much.

this is the best advice on here, as stated we have been thru this many times and the answer always comes down to who knows and why take the risk, the fact that someone has gotten by with it means nothing Some people cheat on their taxes and don't get caught that doesn't make it legal or mean you won't get caught and the penalties are extremely high as it can make your ira taxable and void. really depends on the guy auditing you. I have been audited 18 times and I would not risk it and all of my returns are squeaky clean but they still audit me. I would listen to Lisa and others that said to do LNCO in your ira and line in your personal.

i think as previously stated it is different in a roth than a regular Ira, I know I wouldn't own it in a regular but a roth is tax free and I think he is safe, but I am not an accountant, you don't have to report distributions or income from a roth but you do on a regular ira so there is the main difference.

it is why bear raids are successful as most retail can't figure. yes they are short one month payment and if it was a CD at a bank you would be #$%$. Some people get into these mlps and bcds thinking they are CDs, should it affect the stock, NO because you still own the company and now they have more funds, did the company mislead you, YES, are you stupid enough not to understand it well that is the real question isn't it. They have pulled the wool over your eyes at IR but the board knows what Lisa is saying is true and they planned it that way.

if it was a loan and they were collecting interest they would understand it better or i want to borrow from them.

it is hard to believe , lisa, that you nor I could convince people they were losing a month of distribution on the line board, and they think they are smart, lol. really frustrating. i tried to help but blind is blind.

the best I can remember is he stated that 20000 pharmacies were stocked. NOw how you interpret that could mean a lot of different things as I know some bulls have stated that they could get it in 24 hrs which means they are getting it from a central distributor which is smart on the chains part until the scripts are more routine in their numbers. then they should have quantity where needed. Why have something on the shelf that is not turning rapidly. and that is true for any product so I really don't care which it is but 20000 pharmacies have access to filling the script is the end play. Now I don't know whether pharmacies buy their stock or pay for it on a delay or as it sells maybe a pharmacist here could help us out on that one. please.

that type of comment can get you in trouble as it is threatening and you know emperor Obama is watching

actually there are two different accounts on the day of script report some say 6/21 but IMS usually reports on sunday 6/23 regardless we should know next week and I would guess we will see results premarket

some was new to me
1) Eisai statement that _this was the most promising compound in their history
2) the amount of revenues that ARNA gets from sales are closer to 50% for the first 250 million and almost 45% for the first 2.5 billion
3) that they had supplied 20000 pharmacies a larger number than I expected

my feelings exactly, i was not as good on my timing because I felt I had made a mistake getting out at 10.72 and was nervous about getting back in for the run to 11 but I also felt we would get a sell off this week with the FOMC and thought it was over but it isn't over til they say it is over and it continued down. not great at picking tops and bottoms. But I will add more tomorrow if given the right price for averaging down. congrats on your purchase we should both make some money in the next week. if not then we can clip the coupon and wait Patience is the name of the game at times.

and why do you feel consumer ads are the way to spend your money?? genius. because the professionals don't believe it is affective but I guess you know more or do you need some meds like in psychotic

then you would know butt head that they have ads in professional journals for the doctors, they don't need to advertise in the NY times to get more scripts it would be a waste of funds the only people it would make happy is a few uninformed stockholders. I am a doctor so I more than likely know more how doctors think than you do. Most doctors prescribe they don't write scripts for patient requests, it is called practicing. Writing scripts for patient requests is called pill pushing and you can lose your license for it. You are very ignorant and abusive and going on ignore to match your ignorance so don't bother posting to me again

no one asked for cartoons either, lol.
