Larry,

I spoke with Brian Hogan of NB Montgomery. Their research is proprietary and they will only release their report to clients. They only accept institutions and individuals with at least $5 million to invest as clients. However, when I asked him to give me qualitatively over the phone what the report stated, he responded with the following:

They have a 1 year price target of $50. NB Montgoemry believes that the market has vastly overestimated the value of the drug Enbrel for Rheumatoid Arthritis and has not discounted the significant clinical, regulatory and marketplace risk.

I was writing quickly so the above may not have been exactly word for word what was said but it is close. I have to admit that I dumped IMNX today because there are so many stocks out there that are good values right now without any sell recommendations. I've had a nice gain on IMNX while the rest of the market has tanked. I still think that Immunex has a bright future. However, this downgrade will likely weigh on the stock for a while.

Best Regards,
The Thrifty Investor
