Still on the subject of Iran, here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe they deny entering Baghdad to hunt down and attack Kurds, this just puts a nice spin on our efforts in Iraq and the pending conflict in Iran.

This is comes close to year since China put the brakes on new offerings, in a statement that came out of their office they said that fundraisi d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ng including IPO’s will resume according to market oriented conditions. The only worry is that funds will rotate out of existing publicly traded companies to roll into the IPO’s.

Similar to when Aetna (NYSE: AET) dragged down the sector last week. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) dropped down below $30 as they closed down $1.65 to close at $29.64. This is due to their diluting shareholders with a 3.5 million share secondary offering.
