US shorts are far from gifted and will dump into any news, good or bad. Its all they know how to do really.  Most of the time  they definitely dont know how to cover.

Trading at 26.7 the market is already factoring in a miss and guidance adjustment.  If it's minor we might see 30, if it major we will see high teens much like what happened to Endo last quarter.  More importantly the market wants to see specific metrics regarding donnatel and the roll out of newer formulations from amco.  We went into Last earnings at 28.7, not far from where

More importantly the market wants to see specific metrics regarding donnatel and the roll out of newer formulations from amco.  Totally agree... Guidance.
