Once again HLS finds itself with few, if any, friends in the
financial world.

HLS may think they are clever trading their stock under the ever so nice sounding tag of Life Sciences Research, but when these dumped investors find out who LSR actually door they invariably vote with their feet and drop the stock!

HLS currently has only 2 institutions shareholders of any size, one of the Spark have already sold two-thirds of their holding so one would think they too have seen LSR for who they really are, the only other one Vanguard Group has 45,000 in various funds of theirs. Even this is a tiny fraction of the number of shares institutional investors would normally hold in companies where they are usually number in the millions, or tens of millions!

The following are companies who in the last few weeks have dumped LSR's stock!

Transamerica Investment, Frontier Capital, SAC Capital, AXA, Wachovia, Alternative Investment Partners & Rathbone Brothers.

Wachovia Bank sold their shares following the handful of non-violent attacks. It's an ongoing struggle but it's nice to see that companies and people who were was tied to HLS are backing down.  :)
