SNTS has been hampered primarily by a patent challenge by Par Pharm. and the stock took a huge hit when this claim came out primarily for two reasons. 1) CEO had stopped giving guidance on a call a few days before and 2) market thought that perhaps the patent challenge would further hamper the cash flow situation at SNTS. Realistically, this suit will probably be settled or won by SNTS. SNTS should reach profitability in Q4, however, the market is overlooking the two major deals SNTS has signed with Glaxo (for foreign distribution) and Schering for OTC distribution. Both companies are comfortable with the patents as should you be. I look for a volatile rocky ride from here...but up it should be. Cheers.
