Interest in "Interest rates"...?

FED rate hike. The only concern that I see is the market as a whole will react and nobody really knows which way. (up or down) if down the traders will use this as a opportunity to drive OPKs price down a greater percentage then the market. These are short-term reactions . OPKO dose not have to use debt to survive now that they have Bio. If you want to add to your position this might be a good point to do that.

On the offshore tax shelters this is the government (The White House and the Democrats in Congress) not wanting major tax reform. The current solution is to try to punish those companies who convert, rather than fix the problem. It is not going away until we get true tax reform and bring our corporate taxes rates in line with the rest of the world. We need to bring all that money back home! We are not getting any of those taxes now. So lower the rates and then we will get on some taxes and the companies then can invest the money in jobs and plants here in the US.

Right now I would be more concerned on the Berry, Hillary and the Democrats in Congress attacking on pricing and the rhetoric that will come out of that.

You might say that I blaming Democrats and not Republicans. We cannot get true tax reform until we get a White House that will sign it and Democrats in the Senate that will let it go to a vote. Let's just put it out there and see who signs it and who vote for Democrat or Republican.

Relax. If they hike, it will be negligible. As for tax havens, all large companies do it. AAPL, Google, msft, etc. will probably take forever and a lot of lobbying for congress to change it.

Miami,

Neither am I knowledgable on this subject.  But, I am with you that I do not think the rate hike it will impact OPK, at least not for long.

My thought is that the market will be so relieved when the rate hike happens, that the market will go up instead of down.  Anyone with any sense knows that the rates have to be raised, even if only a tiny bit.

As I typed that, I said to myself that if the Fed were to hike rates, .5 percent, all at once, then the market will react.  If they raise interest rates only .125 or .25, I think that amount is already factored in and expected.
