Since I profiled Cell Therapeutics (CTIC) two months ago as a cancer biotech that was down, but not out; the stock price has more than quadrupled from 8 cents to 36 cents during intraday trading today.

Titan Pharma Stock Remains Primed to Spike
<>Titan Pharmaceuticals (TTNP.PK) was mentioned in a weekend article by the Washington Post that highlighted the CEO of Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Mihael Polymeropoulos, and Fanapt - Vanda's recently approved drug to treat schizophrenia of which Titan will reap up to 10% in royalties.
While Novartis (NVS) emerged as Vanda's partner to commercialize the product, it's long been my speculation that Titan will eventually be gobbled up by a larger company, and the following comment by Titan CEO Sunil Bhonsle in the Post article does nothing to stave off my speculation: <>"There tends to be a pattern wher...

Alcon Delivers, Moves Ever Closer to $181
Back in August, I advised investors to load up on Alcon (ACL), the eye care company because, this New Year's, Novartis (NVS) could be forced to buy all of Nestle's (NSRGY.PK) approximately 150 million at a $181 price.
In brief, Nestle's has the right as of January 1 to sell all of its 52% share of Alcon to Novartis for 20.5% above the average of the past week price to a maximum of $181. I speculated that minority shareholders could piggyback on the ride to $181.
