TOP PICK
HQ is in Israel. Large-cap pharma. Right now, #1-ranked in his ADR/CDR universe (international stocks with American/Canadian Depositary Receipts). We've seen rotation into drug stocks. Broke out over $21 in September and has kept right on going. Very strong accumulation for about 6 months now. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $34.50)

HOLD
Generic brand companies like Teva have struggled in the last 5 years has they competed with each others. Pfizer is in the process of buying one of their competitors and the Pfizer stock dropped 5$ on the announcement. Doesn't own Teva, purchased United Heatlth recently. You can hold but it's not a name he would hold due to the risk and they have no value added.

DON'T BUY
They went from an in incredibly well managed drug company and then management decided to develop their own drugs and make mistakes. It is difficult to unwind these problems. Turning around a company like this will be difficult because of the debt. This is a highly speculative stock.

DON'T BUY
A generic drug company that has had troubled times as pricing is becoming very competitive. Buyers are consolidating and squeezing margins. They have a MS drug that was a market leader, but now there are others competing. He would rather own brand name drug companies that can become leaders in their field.

DON'T BUY
It has done very well. But they made a huge acquisitions three years ago, taking on a lot of debt. They went through several CEOs. The generic drug space is tough and competitive. Generic drug pricing is limited as we head towards a U.S. election; generics are a target of politicians. Also, there are many lawsuits in the generic drug industry. Generics should do better after the election.

An Israeli company that trades in the US. The largest generic pharmaceutical company in the world. They went through a difficult management period after its founder passed away. The important part of the generics is not really the molecule part (if you have smart people you can copy the molecules). The important part is the legal aspect. And here this company is very very strong. It is going to take a while to restructure the company, but they have a great franchise. Over a 3 to 5 years’ time horizon it is a great story to buy.
