"do i buy at people who seem fear? Is that a question?
Phy "

I agree,the sentence doesn't makes sense as is - but, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured they actually wanted to say: "do i buy when people see fear?" I could be wrong.

hop,
You ever think there may be more sellers than buyers?

Why is this stock falling almost as fast as GM? I'd love to hear some theories.

My family held abt for 55 years. The company finds itself between a rock and a hard place. Drug development is expensive and replete with legal risk. The political environment is unfavorable and growing more so by the day. I am repetitive, but the boomers will want almost free drugs because they do not understand the costs and risks of discovery. All in all a negative view should be expected.

The real problem is apparent management attitude that shareholders be dammed. Sr. Management in this company has not performed for owners since about the time Miles became CEO, but has lavishly rewarded itself each year with salaries, bonuses, and stock options. The BOD has not held them accountable, and never will, since there is click among BOD's in this country. The members sit on each other's boards, and scratch each other's backsides.
