Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Cell Therapeutics
So what: The European Medicines Agency agreed to a plan for testing Pixuvri in children 6 months to 18 years of age. The drug will treat lymphoid malignancies and solid tumors.
Now what: This news is an incremental positive for Cell Therapeutics and is helping reverse a rough 2010 for the stock. I prefer not to speculate on a stock waiting on a Food and Drug Administration appeal and without consistent revenue, but I can't stand in the way of a stock gaining momentum on positive news. The European news is positive and if the FDA reverses its original decision to require additional clinical trials (which may be unlikely) this stock could rise as fast as it's fallen this year.
