Biotech/Pharma Stocks and Upcoming FDA Actions Dates

A few biotech stocks whose FDA approval/response dates are coming up are listed here without any analysis or predictions. Momentum traders could use these tickers, study the stock behavior and make appropriate trades. Or look at the drug/device's long term trial/data process and make bets on either side of the trade and hold steady. Good luck and don't be greedy. Stocks are listed from the nearest date of decision onward. Thanks for a diligent poster (sxyam) on the yahoo message board of HUN.
