Rumor and hype

rumor
The specific rumor I was referring to was BDX dropping the lawsuit:

hype
Your prediction of a $6.60 price tommorrow on earnings of .12/share is wildly optimistic at best.

(1) The present P/E of 22 is supported by people who bought in before the lawsuit. Some of them will be waiting to bail on good news. This should dampen any huge upward spike.

(2) This stock tends to move at most a buck a day. It took a week for it to bottom out on news of the lawsuit. Earnings drive stocks long term. If they pull .12, we might see 6 5/8 in a week or three... However, this assumes that the "scare value" of the lawsuit is accurately represented by a P/E of 22. Don't know about that.

Looking forward to tommorow's information. Hope things work out for all long QDEL investors tommorrow.
