Although he typically focuses on longer-term buy-and-hold positions, John McCamant has issued a trading buy for Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN). He explains, "The stock has sold off so heavily, we now believe it is an attractive, shorter-term buy.
The editor of The Medical Technology Stock Letter explains, "When we see fire sales in the shares of individual biotech stocks, our interest always perks up. When it involves a company which just happens to have been a biotech bellweather for over two decades, we become significantly more intrigued."
He continues, "Amgen recently traded down to over four-year lows in response to a barrage of negative news flow. The investment community has punished the stock price, primarily because their Epogen franchise is under pressure from both competitors and government payers."
