Very good point about today being the last day of the quarter for the institutional crowd. Some very well could have locked in some profit or take some chips off of the table after the gains from 10. How about this from the MF Evening report.... > Several pharmaceutical companies offering anti-HIV treatments fell today after The Wall Street Journal reported that DuPont's (NYSE: DD) not-yet-approved Sustiva drug could simplify the so-called "AIDS cocktails" used to treat the disease. The drug, a non- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, could be combined with Glaxo Wellcome's (NYSE: GLX) Combivir reverse transcriptase drug, which is a combination of the better known anti-HIV drugs AZT and 3TC. The article suggests that the new combination could wipe out the need for another class of drugs called protease inhibitors. While any development that may ease the suffering of HIV patients is definitely worth investigating, investors should keep in mind that researchers are still holding out the hope that all of the various anti-HIV drugs will be rendered unnecessary at some point on the development of an effective vaccine. In the meantime, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRTX), which develops protease inhibitors, fell $5 1/8 to $22 1/2, while rival Agouron Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: AGPH) slid $3 1/16 to $30 5/16.<<<< Robert
