sunsluv72 (< 20) Submitted: 11/14/2009 6:20:13 PM : Outperform

Start Price: $58.50 SHPGY Score: -2.68

This stock should out perform in the next few months due the shut down and production stop forced by the FDA on Genezyme and Shire is the only other manufacture that is getting back flow to fill orders.

Still looks overpriced. Trying to get patients to switch to Vyvanse will be difficult with generic Adderall available.
