On CAPS, 92% of the 161 members who have rated Amarin believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Icebone284 and All-Star zzlangerhans, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community.

Just last month, Icebone24 succinctly summed up the Amarin bull case: "Blockbuster drug phaseIII results plus baby boomer population in need of [triglyceride] lowering drug means huge market potential."

Over the next five years, in fact, Amarin is expected to grow its bottom line at a whopping rate of 74% annually. That's naturally much faster than big pharma plays such as GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) (11%), Merck (4%), and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) (3%).

CAPS All-Star zzlangerhans elaborates on the Amarin bull case:

I'll never understand why the company flirted with bankruptcy after years of failed trials of AMR101 in Huntington's, Parkinson's, and niacin flush before addressing the more obvious indication of hypertriglyceridemia. But after strongly positive results from two phase III trials, FDA approval seems highly likely. Partnership, buyout, or not I believe Amarin will rise back toward 20 once the NDA process is under way.
