It's been a wild year for the drug company. This year has been a roller coaster for INSYS Therapeutics ( NASDAQ:INSY ) . The marijuana stock spiked in January on seemingly no news and then proceeded to fall substantially. August was another volatile month, with shares jumping on a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track designation for INSYS' epinephrine nasal spray. But then the shares crashed back to earth. By the beginning of October, INSYS was back to even for the year but it's now down 30% year to date after it released third-quarter earnings and a plan for its opioid-related assets earlier this month. Monetizing a declining asset INSYS' claim to fame is Subsys, a very strong opioid called fentanyl that's delivered via a spray. Unfortunately, sales peaked in 2015 and have rapidly declined as the opioid crisis has caused doctors to crack down on prescribing the drug and other opioids, especially outside its approved purpose.
