I just wanted to say thank you to the person who posted the date. It takes a lot of courage to do that.

I've been at Illumina for several years and the stock drop is the absolute worst I've seen. Terrible. Just terrible.

Whole market is a sh-tshow. We still remain one of the only profitable companies in this business. We are too scrutinized.

I wasn’t surprised at all! The company is struggling, and the leadership is weak.
