Rman,
I agree on DURA. A classic and massive overreaction. The problem is that money managers are judged on a quarterly basis and DURA will prob be dead money for a month or two before they complete a new acquisition or the NDA for Spiros Albuterol is approved. This is an excellent company with a huge cash horde. remember they did a convert and raised cash at a cost of about 3.5%. The conversion price is irrellevent at these prices. I'm going to see if we get some more sellers over the next few days and then buy some.

If you take a look who where the large institutional holders of Dura then you don't wonder about the drop. The momentum style fund managers were big holders of Dura. Those managers chase positive earnings changes and dump a company without regard to share price if the company announces a serious earnings dissapointment. The interesting question is now whether Dura is a good investment now that the momentum crowd left it?
