CombinatoRx, Maybe Not As Bad As It Looked

CombinatoRx (CRXX) is still down in after-hours trading, but nowhere near the levels that it looked like the stock was trading at.  The stock was initially down more than 20% after the news came out and before the stock was halted.  Shares are actually down only about 3.3% now at $7.05 on what appears to be roughly 415,000 shares.  Obviously this is not going to be under that $5.50 year low like this one was looking originally. 

The good news, as noted, is that this company is not just a one-trick pony in the molecule land.  The bad news is that this failed indication was for Rheumatoid Arthritis and there could have been a great addition in business if this would have worked out.  Here is their full research pipeline:
