The latest downgrades are: Dec 3 Brown Brothers from LT Outperform to LT Market Perform Dec 2 Alex Brown from Strong Buy to Market Perfom. I am still searching for another source. Will post whenever I come across. Time to take Calorad. Need to lose weight. Sitting too long in front of the tube. Paul

this recent selloff is very,very similar to a selloff of another biotech stock in my portfolio. sangstat medical (sang) went from 31 to 13 in a matter of 4 days last spring. although the kind of problem was different (earnings because of upcoming lawsuit with novartis), the bottom line is sangstat is also betting its future on its potential blockbuster (a generic version of novartis's neoral cyclosporine). agouron already has a blockbuster. lots of FUD (fear, doubt and uncertainty) at that time. and where is sangstat now? at all-time high, and they still haven't made a dime.
