Incivek's $1 billion in sales this year

http://www.mmm-online.com/incivek-to-set-record-for-fastest-blockbuster-launch-analyst-predicts/article/215925/

"Vertex's drug for treating hepatitis C virus, Incivek (telaprevir), is on course to smash the previous record for the biggest revenue-generating drug launch ever."

"The direct-acting antiviral generated $494.1 million in sales from its US launch in May through the end of September, Vertex disclosed recently in an earnings report. The EU approved the med, branded as Incivo, during the third quarter, as did Canada and Japan. With launches in all those markets under way through the fourth quarter, Incivek should reach a billion dollars in sales by year's end"

"Even though Albert Einstein was famous throughout the world for his
achievements in physics, such as his Theory of Relativity, the phenomenon
he was most impressed by had to do with finance.  When asked what he
considered to be the most powerful force in the universe, Einstein is reputed
to have said, “compounding interest”.

"but no advise of course : )" LOL, we play by the same rules Aaron, present the data/ opinion and let others make their own decision. I enjoy sparking opinion, but Silicon Investor is probably a better place to do it.

Gap in VRTX's chart filled @ 35 this past week, could be a quicky trade on the bounce back towards 40 if the EU can get it's **** together. I'm sure JnJ is looking/hoping for strong European sales.
