GTXI: TFN’s prostate drug pick is up 12% on Phase 2 trial news
Posted July 31, 2008
Our prostate drug play GTXI surges after heavy volume spike!
by J. Christoph Amberger
Baltimore — (TFN): On April 2, 2008, in a story called “Profit Opportunity: A diamond in a mud pit,” our own Andrew Snyder recommended GTx Inc. (GTXI) when the stock was trading at $16.36.
Today, the stock was trading at $18.45. This represents a gain of almost 13%. The catalyst for the latest surge was news that the company was continuing Phase III clinical trial of toremifene in 20-milligram doses to prevent prostate cancer in men with a type of tissue lesion called prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
Full results of the study are expected for the summer of 2009.
We say hang on to your shares for the time being! But sell if the stock falls back to $18!
