POINT ROBERTS - October 18, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on top percentage gainers on the NASDAQ for Monday October 17th. Markets were off once again on Euro woes with Nasdaq closing lower by -52.93 (-1.98%) at 2614.92.
Yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause... Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANDS) was the top percentage gainer for the session closing higher 2.61, a whopping (250.96%) to $3.65 after the company reported it agreed to be acquired by Roche Holding AG for $3.70 a share. Anadys' board has recommended stockholders tender their shares and, if necessary, adopt the merger agreement. This news was of course followed by the usual barrage of law firm announcements questioning the deal for shareholders.
