RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Insmed Inc. (Nasdaq: INSM), a biopharmaceutical company, today reported results for the third quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2009. Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $2.5 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding period in 2008.

The net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was ...

Good morning. As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a “Fed Day” as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it’s just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on “Fed Days.” But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.

But if volatility is the name of your game, then yesterday’s “Fed Day” was your kind of day. We got a rally of nearly 150 points out of the gate then a dive after the Fed statement, a quick bounce back up of 90 points to the high of the day, and then a plunge ...
