KG ALERT --- I checked their filing and Levoxyl is only 15.4% of their sales. Yet stock is down about 27% over the last few days and 22% since the rumor started yesterday.

Here's my thinking:
Even if the worst case scenario happened and King got zero sales from Levoxyl in the future, the stock is still down too much, by my calculations. Plus the company says the patent is safe, if I am not mistaken.

Looks like Shorts first targeted Altace with nasty, untrue rumors and now they picked on Levoxyl. Undoubtedly the company will have a PR out soon. Shorts know in this market you just need to say something scary and the Market will always react violently by selling, not because they necessarily believe the rumors, but because they think they need to sell first before the next guy. What a sinister game! I don't mind "shorts", I mind crooked "shorts" or crooked "hypes".

From their filing:

Altace(R) accounted for approximately 38.6% and Levoxyl(R) accounted for
approximately 15.4% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
and Altace(R), Levoxyl(R), Thrombin-JMI(R), Lorabid(R), Bicillin(R) and royalty
revenues collectively accounted for approximately 77.8% of our net sales during
the same period. We believe that sales of these products will continue to
constitute a significant portion of our total revenues for the foreseeable
future. Accordingly, any factor adversely affecting sales of any of these
products or products for which we receive royalty payments could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
