$SLS it has been a couple of years since I have seen such a no-brainer investment. The last one was $VRNA which had great COPD data, a unique MOA, easy inhalable delivery, and a huge market. The market beat the share price down after approval and it was a great opportunity. In less than a year Merck bought the company for 8x. $SLS is more compelling: the increase in survival odds from single digits to ~70% will make GPS SOC for AML (and for MM I think) and market capture should be near 100% of applicable patients. And the label will expand. I would be shocked if $SLS is not bought out for at least 15X once results are published.

$IBRX On my WOW! list. The potential here is insane. Reminds me of $VRNA. We did very well with that. Looks like my late, late selling Friday evening of the trash stock $ALT to buy more $IBRX (even though it was already running) is already paying off. Not, $ALT is a trash stock and only held a position for the potential they pulled off a miracle and fooled someone to give them a deal. That's the ONLY hope for that POS. Follow/Subscribe for more thoughts and perspective. Would love to hear yours too. That's how we find these gems and learn. Let's make some (more) money. Cheers!

$CADL i‘ve seen all those reasons before. Over at $VRNA, they prepared for going all the way by themselves. Then got an offer. My buyin was around $13 and i kept all my shares until the BO. If CADL does the same too, i can wait another few years.

$CYTK got its long awaited approval last Friday after the close. Attached is a worksheet that compares CYTK's valuation as a multiple of 10-year analyst consensus revenue estimates versus 4 peer M&A exits (peers being those with similar revenue projections). We do not have any information on CYTK's anticipated gross profit margin but the 4 peers forecast gross margins in the mid-90s. On first glance it appears CYTK's valuation appears a tad rich when compared to M&A valuations of peers like $ISEE & $VRNA with similar 10-year revenue projections. Any CYTK pipeline valuation would/should manifest in longer term revenue forecasts. We do not know much about CYTK & would appreciate sincere perspectives from those that do. We read rumors from 18 months ago that Novartis was considering buying CYTK for $100/share. Should CYTK have accepted the offer (if it was even real)? This is not investment advice. We genuinely want pro-CYTK perspectives. This is not investment advice. $XBI $IBB

$CAPR $CDTX $RNA $NVS $VRNA Still above $25? Submission Deadline: During a December 17, 2025 webinar, CEO Linda Marbán stated the company's goal is to send the formal response, including the HOPE-3 topline data, to the FDA before the close of the 2024/2025 calendar year. THIS DECEMBER!!! FDA Feedback: Capricor anticipates receiving feedback from the FDA regarding the "path forward" and the formal acceptance of this filing by the end of January 2026.🤗🤗🥁🥁 Review Period: The resubmission is expected to be treated as a Type 2 classification, which typically carries a six-month review period.✅ Anticipated Approval: Based on this six-month clock, the company is targeting potential FDA approval by mid-2026. 🕰️ When is BO Before or After APPROVAL?🤷‍♂️

$CAPR Bo looks more likely each day it trades above $25. Look at some of the charts & patterns from prev BO co's like $CDTX $RNA $RXDX $VRNA before bo's and analyst rec's. They knew 6 month in advance.

$NBIX Crenessity product sales were $98MM in its 3rd calendar quarter on the market. We cannot let this go $VRNA was acquired for an enterprise value of just under $10B. VRNA's new therapy did $76MM in product sales in its 3rd calendar quarter on the market Attached we note valuations paid to acquire 7 NBIX peers that ranged from 100 to 140X product sales in their respective 3rd calendar quarter on the market. $MDGL Rezdiffra did a hair more than Crenessity in its 3rd quarter on the market. NOTE: MDGL has meaningful convertible securities that suggest its fully diluted market cap is 35% higher (see our post If NBIX's Crenessity merits a valuation multiple consistent with these peers, it suggests Crenessty is worth roughly $10 to $14B by itself. This does not consider NBIX's Ingrezza, approved in April 2017 that is on track to doing $2.5B in FY25 product sales. Using these peers/comps suggest there may be considerable upside to NBIX investors should NBIX ever consider an M&A exit. $XBI $IBB
