I have zero anxiety about the results of this trial. It is the equivalent of a lock-bet. I don’t want to come off as cavalier but in my betting book it looks a lot more like when it is proven, not if. NASH has already shown the way. This is the trial equivalent of a putt-off. I saw Arnold Palmer putt-off once, nothing to prove at that stage of life…playing to the crowd he simply hand dropped the ball into the cup with a grin and a comment : “that’s how we putt-off!” The crowd loved it and I think investors…and BP…will like the results of the HIV inflammation trial.

JL will at least use his putter, but in my opinion we are not only on the green but inches from the hole.
