1.  Re: an American-dream life story of Matt Emmens 
You're right that Genentech or Gilead are not realistic comparisons for Vertex in the next few years. But Vertex in 2012 could certainly look something like Biogen did in 2007-2008.

3.  Re: New offering!!!!!! 
They only said they had enough cash to take Telaprevir to approval. They must need to ramp clinical trial expense in a big way in 2010 for something else. Shall we say 222?

Yes, Disney! They can dress up Pamela Anderson like Minnie Mouse and let her market Telaprevir.

5.  Re: WTF is wrong now with the share price 
To follow up on my prior post-- Galleon is listed (on EDGAR Pro) as having a position of 60 thousand shares in VRTX as of June 30th. Who knows what they may have bought or...

7.  Re: Doesn&&39;t it bother anyone else that we gave up $95 millions ? 
The answer to the OP is perhaps that management is betting that taking the Jak 3 inhibitor through Phase II is worth more than $95 million. It is a calculated risk. And...

8.  Re: VRTX to sell rights to Hep C drug 
Two reasons to do this. First, by raising money in this fashion the company could be telegraphing that it won't use the recent improvement in stock price as an opportunity to issue...

11.  Re: That could the end of Schering HEP-C 
Note that this study from SGP is "open label" compared to the VRTX phase II trials which were blind. So, one could easily explain away the slightly "superior" cure rate by...

12.  "Cure" for HCV you probably don&&39;t want 
Interesting study finds that acute case of HBV in a patient with chronic HCV can lead to clearance of HCV. There is a catch, however. You might die from acute HBV and you only have a 25% of...

15.  Re: Current burn rate $$$ 
They actually said they ended 2008 with $830 million of cash and also said they could have a non-GAAP loss of up to $435 million in 2009. So, the ballpark answer is that they will burn through 50...
