I agree. The more we know, the better we should become as investors. I shudder when I think about how blind most of our ivestment decisions were in the past.

Hi Peter, PMFJI but there are a handfull of folks that I believe are extremely overextended with AGPH who are having a hard time with the likely reality that the 12 month price target will fall somewhere between the Lehman (46) and PW (65-70) price targets...probably leaning closer to Lehman's. I own more AGPH than I care to admit, and am disappointed also, but I learned a long time ago not to put all my eggs in one basket. In any case a couple of folks here become very hostile at any evidence, or suggested evidence against AGPH. I agree it's becoming very old, and out of hand to the point that I believe many lurkers wouldn't post potential negative news that informed investors need to know due to the potential attacks on credibility that seem to follow. This is not constructive at all, and I like you appreciate all news posted here. You can generally see right through people trying to influence the stock due to their own agenda's if properly informed. If the negativity towards constructive information continues, I may attempt to start another thread for investors as opposed to those married to the stock. sf

Peter: First, I didn't "jump" on him...it was a mild pounce at best Second, the downgrade was well covered on this thread a week ago when it was useable news for shareholders to potentially act upon. No one shot the messanger when it was useable news. It wasn't good news but it was news. Third, I am just a shade skeptical when one "suddenly" joins the discussion with an old negative. I would be equally skeptical of a new poster spouting old positives. At least he was honest and claimed a VRTX position. Not all on this thread are as forthcoming. No offense intended, hopefully none taken. Tom
