I wanted to share biotech, NYSE: ATNM, current $3/share---We saw a halt this afternoon in trading of Actinium's securities which sent it on a roller coaster ride awaiting a substantial announcement by the company. A lot of you are wondering why the stock went up after an offering was announced at a 15% discount to the market. Let me explain…
The key here is the individual who led the financing, billionaire Dr. Phillip Frost.
Dr. Frost is well known in the cancer R&D space and there is no lack of media/press about him due to his (very) strong track record in biotech/pharma investments. Mad Money's Jim Cramer is quoted calling him the "Warren Buffet of biotech". Jim Cramer (Mad Money CNBC) article: http://www.thestreet.com/story/13104958/1/opk...r-run.html
Today Opko Health agreed to buy Bio-Reference Laboratories for $1.47 billion in OPK stock. Frost is CEO and Chairman of OPK. I can only speculate on whether or not he has any future plans in regard to ATNM.
Good piece about Dr. Frost http://www.trefis.com/stock/teva/articles/144...2012-09-21
