Charles Bobrinskoy IMS Health Inc RX-N TOP PICK Aug 13, 2009

Relatively small company but the leading dominant provider of data to the pharmaceutical industry. When a drug company wants information about how its drugs are selling, what doctors are prescribing those drugs they go to this company. Great value at about 9X earnings.

They provide all the data to companies like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ-N) and Pfizer (PFE-N) on pharmaceuticals sales. If you are J&J and want to know what drug is selling where and how well they tell them. Now trading at 8X earnings. Very cheap.
