Henry, thanks for the clarification, but the group being down 1.09% means little when only 13 out of 49 biotech stocks were up (5 of which were up more than 5%)....and 36 out of 49 were down considerably!!! NERX and the other 5+% up stocks biased the group result. (Just like yesterday when the NAZ was up 7 but primarily due to MFST!!!)

Overall, the bio's had a poor showing, and rightfully so in a big down market...which has been overbought!!!

In regards to AGPH, sell stops triggered at 55 and the stock tumbled...now needs to consolidate and move on. The analysts can say whatever they want...hind sight always 20-20, but potential for earnings/drugs in the pipeline and business fundamentals will drive the market. It appears that AGPH is still longer term bullish. (IMHO!)

I'm really not so concerned about the sector as I am about a select group of biotechs...and the competition.

Sorry, I don't know if AGPH is run like a lean machine or how good their business management is...perhaps someone could comment, who has perviewed the 10Q or whatever. Thanks.

FNS
