    A slug of PFE is owned by the Fairholme Fund. Fund is managed by very sharp, Bruce Berkowitz. FAIRX is a concentrated fund, (up 13.4% annually over last 5 yrs.), and PFE represents over 10% of its current stock holdings. Yeah I own FAIRX and PFE. And I bought more PFE at the end of Monday, crash day, 9/29/08. Reply

    Indevus: Making Big Gains with Approval for Its New Drug [view article]
    Thanks for the info Mr. Snyder. Do you think the price will rise back to the $7 to $8 range now or will it settle less on this good news? I own some Jan options in this and was pleasantly surprised by this dose of double good news. It is rare in this market to get excited about anything, but with an over 100% gain in a day, its hard not too. Reply

    Abbott has a more diversified mix of businesses with diagnostics/nutrionals as summarized below from their last earnings report:

    -global sales growth of 14.8% to $7.3 billion (B)

    -pharmaceutical sales ($4.1B) growth of 16.7% led by Humira (a biological agent for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis), which experienced a 48% growth in sales for 1H08 at $1.1B with a forecast for sales of $4.3 billion for 2008

    -medical product sales ($1.4B) growth of 14.7% driven by diagnostics sales ($0.9B) growth over 17%

    -nutritional sales ($1.2B) growth of 21.3% thanks to strong results in emerging markets

    Abbott Labs reported total sales for the first half of 2008 of $14.1B with $6.5B in the USA and $7.6B internationally. The Company posted a diversified mix of healthcare business units with 56.5% of sales from prescription drugs, 16.5% from nutrional products, 12.5% from diagnostics, and about 6.5% from vascular products such as stents. The Company increased its earnings-per-share guidance from a range of $3.20 - $3.25 to $3.24 - $3.28, excluding specified items, reflecting growth of about 15% along with expected sales growth in the mid-teens for the full year.

    Why not just buy BMY? The yield is 6% and much better growth prospects. Reply

    Celebrex goes off-patent 2012. PFE stock isn't bottomed yet. On the plus side, post 2012, I think things will start to look up for them. Reply

    Pipelines are overrated. No one can predict how a drug will do 5-10 years from now. A promising drug could end up having untolerable adverse reactions and be pulled from the market (i.e. Vioxx, Bextra etc.). A bust drug could end up being an unexpected blockbluster for a completely different condition (i.e. Viagra). In the long run, it all evens out. Pfizer is a good long-term value now with a safe 7% dividend yield and solid balance sheet. In this turbulent market, you could definitely do worse. Reply

    Great value, loaded with cash, cash is king now, who needs a pipeline, the way things are going they can buy anything they want cheaply with all their cash and/or raise more w debt ala Microsoft with their high ratings.
    Recently increased marketing for lipitor and chantix will keep things moving up.
    Lyrica is the real sleeper in this portfolio, anything that helps with pain is going to be hot. Neuropathy is a painful condition, I have it, and this drug works wonders. Neuropathy via Diabetes is growing problem.
    Plus don't forget Celebrex. The pipeline is full of goodies.
    So buy buy buy and forget the 0.5% you can get on tbills, collect the div. I bet they raise div to 1.40 too. With earnings of about 2.10-2.20 they coudl afford it. thats makes the wait and see yield about 8%
    Long/Buy!

    If you had taken the time to explain how they are going to make up for the loss of their income flow from Lipitor your financial analysis might carry some weight. As it is, this smells like an accountants analysis who has no knowledge of the industry. Reply

    I've owned this stock in the past. The company seems pretty positive about the prospects for their new drugs and is ramping up overseas operations. I think that tells you something given all the risk regarding "forward looking statements" these days. Reply
