Laura Wallace Barr Laboratories BRL-N TOP PICK Sep 26, 2005

A generic manufacturer, so unlike big pharmas that suffer when things come off, they actually benefit. Just picked up Allegra which is coming off patent. A great growth vehicle with a lot of drugs coming off patent in the next several years. Great exposure in women's health products.

TOP PICK

A generic drug manufacturer. Going to continue to grow at 15/20% over the next 3/5 years. There's a number of drugs coming off patent over the next 2/3 years and this company is probably the best positioned to benefit. Good price.

Prefers the US health care stocks as they are much larger and much more seasoned. The big pharma has been a very difficult area. A generic manufacturer. As more and more drugs come off patent, this is a good way to take advantage of the increasing demand for drugs.

(A Top Pick Mar 15/06. Down 22%.) Lowered its guidance by $0.01 and also received a letter from the FDA denying them an extension on a patent. Feels they can continue to grow earnings in the 15/20% range. In a good buying range now.
