> All charts are heading south right now.

Surely you are referring to the overall market where a huge number of stocks are heading south and not specifically Agouron.

Probably 90% of stocks are on the downside, except for retailers. The Brazilian market is down almost 11%, there is the Asian situation, Iraq, Latin America, FOMC, talk of a world wide credit crunch, a flight to quality, nervous investors locking in what profits they may have, admonitions not to jump in yet etc etc etc.

TA is disrupted by sudden breaks in the market, and by sudden advances. TA relies on continuation of a trend. Sudden moves are discontinuous. Many technicians allow a period of time for their barometer to re-set.

IMO, Technical Analysis on Agouron is irrelevant now. It's the market.

Bill: I sincerely hope you are completely wrong when you start mentioning AGPH going to 32!!! I bought more today (pretty soon they'll start calling me "Old Blue Eyes"--"Chairman of the Board"). Why even mention the year 2001? There is obviously a widespread market correction going on (ALL of my other stocks have tanked). However, I really don't know why this would have an effect on AGPH stock price; makes no sense to me other than for making another buying opportunity. Bill, sounds to me like you're being too negative/harsh on AGPH today.

I still have some cash in standby for your 32 number. I would love to buy a company with a 150% growth rate, selling at 17 times FY99 earnings.

How did you determine the base of 39, and if that fails the base of 32.
What formula/process gave you thes numbers. Why not just say 22?
