ATNH Downgraded by Oppenheimer

AthenaHealth (NASDQAQ GS:ATHN) was downgraded by Oppenhiemer from "perform" to "underperform". This may be a sign that the long overdue healthcare refom is almost done.

AthenaHealth climbed on Tuesday on a strong earnings report. The whole sector was positive earlier in the week. "Right now we have "buys" on Allscripts and athena; we have "holds" on Cerner, Eclipsys and Quality Systems; and we have a "sell" on Emdeon. The general movement towards health care IT, I believe, will be accelerated by the stimulus, but that acceleration won't be in a windfall." Said Mr Vendetti, Director of Resarch and Senior Health Care Analyst at Maxim Group LLC.
