...and a few weeks later we are sitting at only $133. Cut your losses and buy AbbVie which is rockin it and pays a better dividend.

I sold all my shares 4 points below the high of the AbbVie take over bid and bought ALGN still trade it for Fiddy points a pop.
1 Shire rep working 2 states easily outperforms 10-15 new school GI AbbVie reps and their mommy managers covering the same geography.
 






I would buy Shire it has more upside than AbbVie. My gut is that Pfizer will buy Shire. AbbVie is a manuf patent scheme that Trump is gonna put the smack down on very soon.
 






They just set the target stock price at $150, that is -25% Flemming all because of your leadership. Stand up and be counted big boy. Sheeze

Shire (NASDAQ:SHPG) was downgraded by investment analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. from an “overweight” rating to a “neutral” rating in a research report issued to clients and investors on Monday, February 19th, Marketbeat Ratingsreports. They currently have a $150.00 price objective on the biopharmaceutical company’s stock, down from their prior price objective of $200.00. JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s target price would suggest a potential upside of 11.77% from the stock’s current price.
 






SHPG conversations on Yahoo Finance shows that investors are experiencing the same feelings as employees on this board.

"ceo when are you leaving.....soon I hope!!!"

"lower highs and lower lows, been going on for over 2 years, and not ending anytime soon. Regardless of fundamentals, bail!"

"I'm out of this completely. Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. How long are you willing to wait?

"The only thing you say about this turd is , that it is cheaper today then it was yesterday.
PE is getting pretty compelling since they will make at least $10 a share in earnings if the clown doesn't screw that up."

"This stock has been in free fall since last June. Time to do something... Disaster"

"Wow...new week and same old turd. Dump the ceo, now!"

"Dear ceo....Sears is looking for a new leader!"

Love the comment about Sears looking for a new leader!
 






Hopefully the recent giant dividend increase will work to keep people from selling and prevent the stock from tanking. But if we have another market correction it seems like this stock is at risk. All we can do at this point is hold and hope it will go back up in the next 5 years or so.
 






I agree. I don't think the stock is going to go up much at all until under the direction of the next CEO, whomever that may be. I just hope that it doesn't keep going down with a biopharma market correction that many are talking about now.
 




































The stock price makes me want to vomit. But think about our CEO and how much he likes change. Although we hate it, it’s something we can count on. He will likely change the company again, maybe by setting us up to be acquired. AbbVie is dropping like a rock too. Maybe the 2 will try another up?
 






Lowe's CEO Is Finally Leaving And Wall Street Could Not Be Happier
By PHIL WAHBA

It’s a pretty damning assessment of a CEO’s performance when his company’s shares surge on news of his retirement.

But it’s easy to see why investors in Lowe’s(LOW, +6.18%) sent shares up 7% on Monday when the home improvement chain announced that long time CEO Robert Niblock was stepping down after 13 years at the helm. After years of underperforming rival Home Depot (HD, +2.24%), they are no doubt eager for new blood at the top.

AND WHAT ABOUT SHPG?!?

Don't get too excited about today's bump in the stock price. We are sitting at $149 right now, only $2 higher than the close on January 22, when it was tanking and all the others were hitting 52 week highs.

Agree - I wonder if we could start a signed petition proactively requesting that Takeda proceed to take Shire over.
 






Any company taking over would be an improvement for employees, but for those that were forced to work for Shire when their company was taken over probably don't want to go through the horrible stress of another acquisition.

Right now the stock is sitting at $149.97. Still not that good considering the 52 week high was almost a year ago at 192. At least we have a dividend payment coming next month, but how the heck are we going to get the price back up close to $200?
