  1. When you consider the fact that I'm supposed to get one of those roter rooter jobs up the bad place at some point- 80% sounds just fine with me- I'll take my chances with the other 20%. This whole area is best handled through the mail. ~ stoney

    Is this a potential problem? The price dropped over $0.50 just after the news.

    DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

    Exact Sciences Corp. (EXAS) received a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration's Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety on regulatory matters related to its DNA technology for colorectal cancer screening.

    The FDA believes that the PreGen-Plus assay requires premarket approval or clearance, according to Exact Sciences, a Maynard, Mass., applied genomics company.

    Exact said it is working with the FDA to pursue the appropriate filing strategy for the product and will meet with the agency within the coming weeks.

  3. 2 year base. Hmmm, 4-bagger. $5 is the threshold for some institutional "acceptibility" but.........institutions already own half the float. I'll skip ROE. Ditto for moving paper vs good story.

    We'll see IF that speed is sustainable.

    Give MY regards to Longhorns...........do the Dew.

  5. Do you think this letter is just a small hurdle / technicality which EXAS can remedy?

    A buy op if so?

    I was reading a 510K 90 day app is not so bad. Maybe they can use their previous studies to give to FDA.
