New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- Affymax, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFFY) is surprisingly the biggest gainer on Thursday as the stock soared 72% to $3.93 without any major news out. Looks like speculators are buying the stock (or maybe short squeeze) after the stock saw its price tumbled as much as 85% late February on news that Affymax and Japan’s Takeda Pharmaceutical have voluntarily recalled all lots of anemia treatment Omontys in the U.S. following reports of “serious hypersensitivity reactions,” including fatalities in “0.02%” of over 25,000 patients after an initial injection. Buying AFFY at current price may be like catching a falling knife. So keep your eyes on AFFY.
