Amylin Stock Is Catching A Bid
• The stock was simply too oversold and short interest climbed too high
• With all of the negative news about Zetia from Schering Plough (SGP) and Lipitor from Pfizer (PFE) and other statins perhaps someone finally woke up to the fact that diabetes treatment is all that much more important and the big cap pharmaceutical companies may be forced to buy AMLN
• The decline of the inhaled insulin product lines gives AMLN approved and commercially available products – Byetta and Symlin - more credibility and sales potential.
I continue to believe that AMLN Byetta LAR long acting formulation will be approved and once that occurs we will see a huge jump in analysts estimates and future sales. That is at least a year out but well worth the wait as Byetta and Symlin sales continue to grow.

Observations Of Omniture
I was happy that my investment club members at Seton Hall were around to watch, listen and observe the Omniture (OMTR) earning release, conference call and after hours trading activity last evening. The stock got slammed after hours on a great quarter and guidance. I showed the kids how the stock was being walked down by 100 share sales constantly hitting the bid after hours. The stock dropped roughly 13% before the conference call began. This was a major gift to anyone who could trade after hours. More importantly, I pointed out that one could not read into that low volume after-hours blitzkrieg. During the conference call OMTR regained some ground as the after-hours manipulation ceased. It is now up 10% on the day in a real trading session. If you believe as I do in the long term growth of internet advertising then I suggest taking a look at OMTR. Oppenheimer recently put out a well written report on the stock.
