I've had a clue about AMGN... That is why I invested in the late 1980's... I've been making a killing in VISX lately and using AMGN as a model. -------- AMGN chart: 207.95.154.130. POSTS: Now when you factor in all the splits... Splits: 13-Aug-90 [2:1], 11-Sep-91 [3:1], 16-Aug-95 [2:1], 1-Mar-99 [2:1] You can see the actual prices were a lot higher. So, conclusion... YOU COULD SEE A LOT MORE ROOM ON THE UP SIDE FOR VISX OVER THE YEARS!! Also, let's hope our next VISX split is a 3 for 1 like AMGN's second split...<GRIN> -Kevin G ------ So, You see my comparison... AMGN became a 40 billion Dollar company over the years with just Two main cash flow sources...Epogen and Neupogen. Because they ruled their market!! VISX has Two main cash flow sources also...LAZER SALES and LICENSE FEES. VISX also rules their market!! 80%+ in hand!! I plan on holding VISX shares until 2005!! That is when VISX could have a 40 BILLION DOLLAR MARKET CAP!! Subject 4428
