DOJ investigating the Davita and FMC deals. Anti-competative could result in huge lawsuits. Rumor has FMC people saying they will not be allowed to use competative product....That would be anti-trust folks. Subpoenas coming again for MR this time.

So that he would never forget the dangers of overconfidence, Sharer hung a stark portrait of General George A. Custer, who led the doomed battle of Little Big Horn, across from his desk in his office at Amgen. He said of the picture, "It's good when you have a job like this to look at someone who overestimated his ability, underestimated his enemy, and lost everything" ( BusinessWeek Online , March 18, 2002).

While Kevin walked away with millions of dollars (not deserving) he did follow Custer by overestimating his ability.and did not increase share holder value. GREED comes in all forms. Amgen has been a problem for Davita and FMC for several reasons. A new product gets out you will see more then a haircut.
