I continue my attempts to gauge Affymax swings. Now that they are back in the low end of range, I'm going to guess that they survive the current market unpleasantness without plumbing new lows thanks to a relatively strong cash position and the… More

I don't have anything against Hematide, but I think the current market cap of Affymax is excessive considering that it depends entirely on the success of that compound. While many stocks such as Poniard and Mannkind have shown a tendency to rise… More

I don't have anything against Hematide, but I think the current market cap of Affymax is excessive considering that it depends entirely on the success of that compound. While many stocks such as Poniard and Mannkind have shown a tendency to rise approaching a major binary catalyst, I suspect Affymax will fall as Q2 2010 approaches when investors realize they are looking at an 80% or greater haircut if the phase III trials fail. Perhaps I'm wrong, but how many times have I been right about this stock before? Go ahead, check it out.

the co hasnt had any major catalysts for a while since its in the middle of a moderately large phase iii program. as the market begins to remember that affys pivotal data is coming up it will also recall that the market for their drug hematide is absolutely massive.

there are some caveats to the large mkt opp (jnj litigation, potential generic biologics legislation, and a stagnant market for ESAs), but despite this the co remains dramatically undervalued, particularly considering their $150m cash balance (which mgmt has said will not be sufficient to carry them thru to profitability tho).
