PPO I think there is less (and more) to the article than the Axiom analyst suggests.
http://tinyurl.com/6wbllvz
For instance, his statement that "Person X sold xxx number of their xxx shares" is misleading IMHO because it makes it look like the individuals sold out of their holdings.
Uh, not quite.
For instance, he says "•CEO Robert B. Toth has sold 403,000 of his total 450,000 shares (i.e., 89%) for a profit of $24.5 million" - true, as far as it goes, BUT...
It appears that he and others "owned" the shares only long enough to buy them at deeply discounted prices ($5.24 - $9.94), then sell them, the same day.
This is true of all the individuals stock "owned" as mentioned in the piece.
Again, it is certainly true that the individuals chose to sell rather than hold their cheaply acquired stock, but they didn't do so out of their holdings.
This whole "downgrade" thing seems might suspicious.
I'm holding at avg $40.13
It'll bounce 'cause this drop is way overdone.
Down 30%+ cause of one analyst? I made it through FSLR and feel comfortable with this one.
In PPO avg $40.13
This thing is WAAAAY oversold.
From that same article: "Analysts at BB&T (NYSE: BBT) upgraded shares of Polypore from a “hold” rating to a “buy” rating in a research note to investors on Monday, December 5th. They now have a $70.00 price target on the stock."

Something doesn't make sense - unless the analyst is using his rep to make $$ for his clients.
In the article: "Separately, analysts at Robert W. Baird cut their price target on shares of Polypore from $62.00 to $60.00 in a research note to investors on Thursday, January 12nd."
So today one analyst says "sell", but a couple weeks ago another analyst sets a $60 target, yet the price drops today to $20 below that! What the...?
BUY!!
How many shares? What price?
Thank you.
VERY interesting. Thank you.
And yet their financials look pretty good?
Odd, very odd.
PPO - What's going on with it?
As I've said before recently, I'm new to this board, and this stock... but in reading the last 30+ messages all I see reminds me of a Yahoo finance board.
What a shame to waste the collective knowledge and experience you all have here on spiteful and/or B.S. comments.
It's a shame, a real shame.
I think I understand what you're not saying - that is that the appeals court had two things to consider: 1) irreparable harm and 2) the likelihood of MNTA prevailing on their patent infringement claim. The appeals court ruling (at least at this moment) appears to be based only on issue #1.
That's a good thing, though I certainly don't understand how they came to that conclusion. I guess when we see the text of the ruling (or whatever it's called) things will become more clear.
In the meanwhile, if MNTA is as sure as they say of their patents, they should tell Ampha to bugger off. IMHO, if a settlement is reached, depending on the terms, it may seriously devalue MNTA's IP.
By staying the injunction, hasn't the court essentially said that MNTA's "picket fence" of patents (methods to deconstruct and check the quality of generic product) is ineffective/worthless?
If so, that seems like a mighty big leap for a court to make before a trial.
Am I correct in thinking that even a change to straight royalty mode doesn't affect income tremendously?
Two questions: 1) Wouldn't MNTA and NVS have to agree to any settlement?, and 2) What's your opinion of "Will this be reversed at trial?"
Thank you.
This would be a great day to buy long-term options. I'm currently looking into them.
If one feels that MTNA has potential, and in my opinion you would be very foolish not to, what's one day (or a few days) worth of pain?
I didn't think I'd have this chance again, but this is a sale, and now that the price has stabilized I'm going to be taking advantage of it.
