Posted: 14 Feb 2012 03:07 AM PST

"Larry, they have forgotten about me. I do not know what to do and I have nowhere to turn."

We have an administration and regulators which fabricate settlements and try to support people many of whom were financially … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Bear Of The Day: BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN)

Posted: 13 Feb 2012 11:00 PM PST

We are downgrading BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (BRMN) to Underperform from Neutral purely on valuation grounds as we believe that the stock is overvalued at current levels. Moreover, we are disappointed by the initial sales ramp of the company’s newest marketed product – Firdapse.
Moreover, we expect cash burn to increase since the company is investing heavily in its pipeline. Any negative news regarding the pipeline would have an adverse impact on the stock.
These concerns have caused us to … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
