Could Dendreon Be a Buyout Candidate?

In the video below, Fool analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss drugmaker Dendreon as a possible takeover target in 2013.

While hope of a buyout has diminished as Dendreon's struggles mounted, the possibility still exists. However, there is one additional hurdle that might keep big pharma away from Dendreon, which investors are not talking about.

But where does that leave investors -- other than a bit nauseous from the roller-coaster ride? David answers this question, and many more, inside our brand new premium research report on Dendreon.
