AGPH has record losses this past FY with the commercialization of Viracept. Their losses have gone down in the recent quarter and they expect to be at breakeven in FY '98. At the present time, the sales momentum with Viracept is so strong that earnings forecasts will most likely increase, not decrease.

IBD appears to be on a different wavelength. This is a classic short sell pattern -- first, the slap on the wrist from the FDA, then the heavy short sell drop in stock price, a false slam from the media and, finally, a little rumor here and there. This should shake up a few unknowledgeable investors and a agitate a few short sellers with more money than sense.

I've been in this issue for 10+ years and it has never been stable and it has always had some gravity holding it back. This year and next will prove to be exciting.
