Steve, you make a good point.

Why not ask IR why they didn't issue a press release on either the pivotal PII/PIII 3340 trials, or the selection of a lead compound for rhinovirus protease.

My point about good news not helping the stock, and not-so-good news hurting the stock is an observation based on the past 6-7 months. Most times when material good news was released, e.g., the past quarter's earnings, with the pipeline update, the market yawned. But bad news (Roche withdrawal / Thymitaq termination), the market pounded AGPH.

It's simply a bearish climate for AGPH, and many other biotechs (but not all). In a bullish climate, good news would tend to get rewarded, and news that raised red flags would tend to be overlooked.
