Is it too late to dump my Roche shares?

The Japanese government has issued a warning that Roche's anti-viral drug, Tamiflu, should not be given to teenagers after reports of suicide attempts and / or self-harm by teenagers who had taken the drug. Tamiflu, as you probably know, is the drug of choice being stockpiled by governments, including the British government, in preparation for a potential outbreak of avian flu.

The Swiss pharmaceutical giant is "shocked" and "baffled".
