DON'T BUY
The demand of GLP remains strong, but as more generics enter the market, the prices of the GLPs will go down. If you bet on Teva, you expects GLP demand to remain strong. GLP will come in pill shape, and there will be more amazing drug discoveries. However, Teva isn't a very innovative company. He avoids pharma; it's too hard to determine who will be a winner.

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.

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.
