    Wyeth's Alzheimer's Vaccine Could Become World's #1 Drug - Barron's [view article]
    My husband passed away a few weeks ago after years of wasting away from the effects of Alzheimer's Disease. Those who talk only about stock benefits and the business angle have never watched someone they love die a minute at a time, not understanding why they can't think, can't remember, can't concentrate. A drug that could potentially reverse some of that, and relieve the anguish for the patient and for the family - deserve to be the only story. The billions for Wyeth are nice, but how wonderful it will be for future patients to get some of their lives back! I would have given anything to have had this opportunity for my husband! Reply

    How is 90,000 people filing bankruptcy 1 in 100 households? That would suggest there are only 9 million households in the US whereas there are well over 100 million. Aren't you off more than an order of magnitude in your excitement? Reply

    90K bankruptcies x 12 months = 1,080,000,000, just about 1% a year, should have clarified the year part.

    McDonell - LOL, been so long I forgot their name!

    Sorry user 153975 but I used to be the only options guy on SA and they tagged me with it. I don't like the title either. My site specializes in options trading but my morning posts are generally market overviews to set up the day's trading.

    your post would be more useful if you highlighted the fraction of cash flow that the expirations will have on an individual company basis. Just giving us drug names is nice, but practically useless.

    Options Trader, could you please say something about options trading or use a more descriptive title for your next piece? It is a waste of my time to read a regurgitation of the Wall Street Breakfast column. Reply

    CAUTION: A just published study with dogs showed that removing their plaque still did not appreciably improve their mental performance. The neurons were still basically damaged and needed further repair. In other words, the plaque was just a band aid. See this website: www.eurekalert.org/pub... Reply

    I think this is real and very much worth the risk of getting long. Reply

    97% of all Americans are NOT behind on their mortgage. All of this crap about 7,000 a day losing their homes is just hype. There are only about 1 million homes in foreclosure in the U.S. The recession will be mild. It is all hyped to scare people. Reply

    It's McDonnell Douglas (which hasn't existed in over a decade, mind you), not McDonald-Douglas.

    And 90,000 bankruptcies in a month is not 1 in 100 families; you'd have to annualize the number (and up it to about 95k) to make that a true statement.     Reply

    I think you have a typo: "90,000 bankruptcies is 1 in 100 US families declaring bankruptcy, folks, that’s ..." According to the census bureau there were 113,146,000 households in the US in 2005. 90,000 is hardly 1%. Reply
