Hi Matt, I can tell you that there have been no analyst comments or any news on Idec that would account for this past weeks action. However, when Coulter Pharmaceuticals[competitor] released their preliminary prospectus that was greatly anticipated and answered alot of unanswered questions. Both the release of Coulter's info and Idec's price movement this past week were simultaneous. Back in June and July of this year when Idec went from a high of 32 5/8 down to 14 was due to a sharp 20% pullback in the nasdaq and was very much amplified by Coulter's presentation at the ASCO conference. As a result of this conference much weakness was created in the price of Idec's stock since this was the first that Coulter's phase I/II results were made public. A minor competitive feud has developed between both firms and I can personally assure you that some large institutional investors have been watching both companies very closely and this is being reflected in Idec's stock.
