The Pfizer-Wyeth Deal: Experimenting with Taxpayer Dollars?

Its this type of blog that's driving me crazy. Do you expect Pfizer to welch on its loans or that the expected $20B in CF to not materialize? How obsurb is to restrict the banks from loaning to a bluechip company with $20B+ in cash reserves and a FCF greater than $10B. Find something else to do with your time and leave us alone with absurb fears of Pfizer failures. I for one welcome such transactions and plan to take part in the arbitrage shortfall to reap my 12% in 90 days.

There are transactions that unhealthy banks have made and I didn't hear you questioning those like Citi's planned purchase of Wachovia etc. Now there's a merger that was rightfully terminated.

Dividend Yields Soar

Correct me if I'm wrong but Since you're buying the stock for the div, then why not hedge your stock purchase with some puts? Any errosion in the stock will bet off set by the puts. Any sign of a bull market, you can cover lower your puts and benefit some form the stock appreciation.
