completely missed their reporting earns on Monday , too much going on biz.yahoo.com there was a play there , and almost the entire earnings session this time out went pretty predictably to the positive side for quite a few issues Jack ...but were pushing up into "reality check" territory now . Plus they have to push it down again , and shake out the newbies and take their money so they can run it up again later this year! ;-)

I see VRTS got downgraded to sell by ...." Punk, Ziegel & Co" with trgt of $18 ... Now not really sure of who these PunK & Ziegle guys are ...maybe time to start following the performance of these "next-generation" post bubble analysts , and see how they do. VRTS was good trade on the long side after earns , don;t mind shorting it again when the time comes . They have been pumping this VXGN looks like , but it hasn't done too well so far : stockcharts.com[h,a]daclyyay[pb50!b200][vc60][iUc20!La12,26,9]&pref=G Seems PUNK & ZIEG are mostly into genomics , pharmies and proteinomics , and they are downgrading VRTS ? Kind of off the beaten path for them it would seem ...maybe some of Robbie Stephens p & d people wound up over there ?<G> website of Punk & Ziegler pzk.com Punk, Ziegel & Company is an investment banker to sophisticated investors and innovative companies in the Technology and Healthcare sectors we serve.
