Boomers Virus

And the time has passed, without an announcement. It makes Ernie Tremblay[1] and Money Map Press[2] look more than a bit foolish and misleading. Typical for their company .

Well, the “announcement” did happen — just doesn’t mean nearly as much, in the immediate term, for any one stock as was implied. Today is “Hepatitis C Testing Day” and the CDC is trying to take it, well, viral on social media. Just part of a large and ongoing campaign to get people tested, hopefully it works but I suspect the stock will drift back down once Tremblay’s ad push is done, at least until they get real results. Testing companies should trade on earnings, not on breakthroughs, and while their test may (I don’t know) be meaningfully better than others the company’s indicating that we’ve got a while to go before it turns them into a dazzling earnings grower.
Travis,
You are most probably correct, however the only announcement I could get was on the CDC website and it was dated 2012. Thank you for looking into it .

Yes, the broad “get boomers tested” campaign is several years old — this is the latest push: http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/TestingDay/
Newsletter promoters are always desperate for a timing “hook” to get people to decide on a subscription quickly, since they know if anyone thinks about it for a while they’ll lose ’em, so they take any opportunity they can get to generate near-term catalysts and deadlines that may or may not be meaningful in “real life.”
Well 5.30’s to 7.90’s pre market this AM, don’t know what else you want. How in the world do you complain about email advertising that you signed up for?
