Vivus (VVUS) says it's received the formal opinion from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. As expected, the CHMP recommended against approval for its obesity treatment Qsiva in the EU.

VVUS plans to appeal the decision. Shares -2.2% AH. [View news story]

Arena (ARNA +12.5%) shares continue their upward trajectory ahead of the FDA's decision, which is still nine days away, on whether to approve the company's lorcaserin diet drug. Investors clearly believe the agency will approve the treatment, although market players aren't totally sure why shares are flying so high. [View news story]
DT, I am thinking the same way, speculation is easy and unless bio works for the FDA he is also just guessing. You called it pretty well on VVUS/NAV and my bank account appreciates that! I took your advice and bought ARNA October Calls just in case it is extended. Let us hope it gets approved for a big payday, I know you want that too!
Pres. Obama finds himself increasingly boxed in on the Keystone (TRP) pipelinefight, as more congressional Democrats join Republicans in backing the project, which has strong labor support and could generate lots of jobs in hard-hit states. An increasing possibility is a highway bill - also stuck - with a Keystone provision, which would put Obama in an awkward position. [View news story]
The Fair Labor Association says it has found "serious and pressing non-compliances" at Foxconn's Chinese facilities, with the biggest issue being forced overtime. The average worker was found to be working 60 hours/week (legal limit is 49), and 14% were found not to have received entitled compensation. Foxconn vows it will comply with Chinese law and the FLA's standards. The FLA was sent at Apple's (AAPL -1.3%) request. (previously) [View news story]
Who says “Ours” is the only right way? Everyone & Everyplace is not created equal. I am not defending abuse or maltreatment of anyone in any land, but who made us judge, and jury!
We may like it our way, but how many of us have suffered, went hungry for a week, or had no one to turn to for help? People in other lands flock for any type of employment and shelter they can obtain. Have any of you been to Bombay and seen the street people? They have –zero, there is little too nowhere to turn for help, they would work, but are mostly shunned by society.
The same happens all over Asia, not just China! China has improved dramatically over the last 20 years, no pats on the back for them, because it is China. Is “Ours” the only right way in North Philly, East St Louis, or the alleys of New York City?
Perhaps we should clean our own homes before infecting our neighbors with “Our-right-way”!

Investors and some big shareholders hated on Freeport McMoRan's (FCX -16%) blockbuster deal, but FCX is looking 10-20 years down the road. Copper miners have found it more difficult to find new projects in politically stable areas, and there are few deal targets: "These are depleting assets, and if you don't keep investing in new assets... you're going to have nothing left." Best to expand while you still can. [View news story]
Or do like MSFT, INTL and forget the tablet, stay status quo and grow mold! Forget about creation and recreation.
I am staying long FCX and looking forward to the rewards.
