RE:Mark Thompson
If I am Mark Thompson, I would next address the market when the Amco deal is closed. whats the point of showing weakness by addressing the irrational BS and fear that has apprehended the market? there is plenty of current info coming out from analysts that follow the stock. All of them, every single one of them, see no fundamental change and big upside to come for the company. There's nothing Mark could've done about the drop in the shareprice. He may have botched it up with Goldman and the USA raise, but the stock was going to get sold off in the genearl sell off anyway.
The company's nickname "Little Valient" sure didn't help them today. VRX ouch.
