  When it comes to investing you have to consider the risk vs. reward\. Good companies, such as apple, are sometimes bad investments because they have little room to grow but a lot of room to fall,thus making the risk outweigh the reword.On the hand, bad companies sometimes are good investments because they have a lot of room to grow and little room to fall,thus making reward outweigh the risk.

  Now consider AFFY. Before the fall, it was a bad investment because of the risk involved.However after the fall, its a good investment because of its potential upside.

  In regards to the drug itself.The ratio of the problem was very low and comparable with other drugs.If they could figure out what causes the reaction and why, they could maybe save it.

  Now, no one is saying AFFY will recover over night,or to its previous value.Only that it has a lot of potential to go up from its present value.
