Very well managed but has run into all kinds of problems in the last 3 or 4 months stemming from one of their major products Vitorin, which they market in a joint venture with Merck. If you value the company on sales and you give zero sales to Vitorin, you are getting the same multiple levels as the other pharmaceutical companies. Great pipeline. New drug coming out in May or June to treat paralysis.

Smaller US drug manufacturer. Has been hit along with the others. A big wall of branded drugs will be falling off and become generic in 2010 and 2011. Has also had negative news on some of its drug development. Decent pipeline of new drugs. Expecting volatility while leading up to the election. (See Top Picks.)

TOP PICK
Merging with Merck (MRK-N). Combination will create a very strong pipeline of products, which for many years will have a good growth profile. It will merge short to mid cycle products with longer-term type products and thinks there are significant synergy type benefits. You could also own Merk but this is a discounted way of playing this. (See also MRK-N.)
