Plans Safety Check of 3 Drugs for Anemia nytimes.com From the article:"...The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that it would review of the safety of the widely used anemia drugs sold by Amgen and Johnson & Johnson after another clinical trial suggested that high doses of one of the drugs might cause strokes...." ================================================================= The stock of AMGN is dropping like a rock, breaking short term support at $55.80. The 50 week MA at $54.38 may not hold, so I am looking for an entry point around $53.5.
