Of course, if one believes that Provenge is a guaranteed blockbuster than the thought is simply absurd. But if one takes what I consider a more realistic view that the path to Provenge’s success is extremely difficult then, perhaps, getting rid of Provenge is not such a bad idea.Dendreon is burning close to 100 million dollars per year, with most of the money going to Provenge clinical trials, building manufacturing facilities for Provenge, preparing the sales force for Provenge, etc. Provenge, Provenge, Provenge – everything else seems to be on the back burner. While the company still has cash at the moment, it is running out of it fast. In fact, the money will have to be raised sometime in 2006, before or soon after the launch of Provenge.Dendreon will likely to be starving for cash till 2008 before the money from the Provenge sales may start trickling down. And what if the trickle is very meager? Two-three years from now new cheaper drugs could well outcompete Provenge and reduce it to a fancy expensive drug with limited patient base. There are several competitors that could bring their drugs relatively soon after Provenge hits the market. Prostvac-VF from Therion, GVAX from Cell Genesys (CEGE), and DN-101 from Novacea come to mind. While these drugs are likely to be approved after Provenge, they will most likely be much cheaper to produce because they are not custom-manufactured for each patient. With so many drugs targeting the prostate cancer, the ability of a company to deliver drugs that are competitive price-wise could be the most critical for winning a substantial share of the market.I would go as far as to suggest that the scenario according to which Provenge is not even able to pay for the cost of its own development is quite likely. At the same time, the cash that Dendreon has now could be used to more speedily pursue highly promising Trp8 inhibitors that are currently in the pre-clinical development. ~130M in cash is large enough to push Trp8 program well into phase II clinical trials. It may be unfortunate that the money will be spent on Provenge, a possible money sink with no meaningful return to the shareholders. DNDN should continue to produce good setup for the short-term trader but it may not be such a great play for the long-term investor.

You’ve probably received several credit card offers in the mail, and the outside of the envelopes scream interest rates and promotional offers to try and entice you into opening it up and looking at what’s inside. Chances are, if you have an email address, you’ve even received a few credit card offers through that address- bright colors and animated graphics trying to convince you that there card has the lowest initial interest rate, or the longest transfer balance rate of all the available credit cards on the market. All of the offers will look good at first glance; after all- that’s what marketing is about, right? According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, marketing is a noun used to describe “the act or process of selling or purchasing in a market, and the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service.” Credit card companies are in business to sell you their credit cards, and they’ll use a variety of promotional materials to get your business.
The outside of your crdeit card offer’s envelope might say something like, “LOW 0% Initial Interest Rate on all purchases and balance transfers”, but there is much more to how a creit card’s interest rate is calculated than that statement reveals. Initial intreest rates are sometimes referred to as the card’s promotional rate, or teaser rate. In all honesty, an initial interset rate is basically the same thing for a credit vard as a sale is to a retail store. Retail stores advertise their products that have a discounted price for a limited time to attempt to bring people into their establishment to buy the sale item, but also because once you are there, they hope you’ll purchase other products. Credit cards offering initial interest rates are basically putting their standard interest rates “on sale”, because for a limited time, new cardholders will receive a lower than usual rate on purchases, and sometimes also on any balance you transfer from one of your other credit vards onto this new card. What you need to understand about initial intrest rates is that they really are “for a limited time”, and just as you couldn’t go to your favorite store and buy items this month for the sale price that was offered the previous month, you can’t extend a creit card’s initial intrest rate beyond the terms they specify (often found in the small print!) What you’ll want to look for in the text of the materials that were sent with the initial interset rate cards promotional documents is reference to the crads ongoing annual percentage rate (APR). This is the imterest rate that you will pay once the initial imterest rate period has passed. (The regular price of an item after the sale has ended!)
Initial interest rates will also come with terms of agreement, in the form of a contract, which give reasons as to how or why the rate might be terminated by the credit lender. The most common reason to terminate the initial interest rate offer is for making a late payment on your card, and if you read the fine print of the credt card agreement- you’ll note that it states this very clearly. In order to keep the promotional, lower rate for the time specified by the credit card lender, you must make every payment on time. If you are late with a payment, you can expect the intreest rate to jump to the ongoing APR, or in some cases, higher because you have defaulted on your contract agreements, so do everything you can to make sure your payments are made on time.
