Good strong company that is diversified well, the four segments of this company seem to be very promising. Let's just hope Obama care doesn't make this company tank

By joint venture along side with the biggest pharmaceutical of Japan, Takeda. TAP product of the Prevacid and Lupron will benefit both company with many years to come globely. Not to mention that they have few new products are under review by the FDA.

I have watched this one make money from the sidelines for several years...just decided to get off the sidelines and own it. Performance has been consistent over the years, and very good.

Cash flowing very nicely, and a company that has consistently beaten estimates while paying a nice dividend. This is an $80+ stock.
Recs
Dividends increased for the 34th straight year. Net income fell by nearly half for 2006, but that money went into r&d. Asset to liabilty ratio doesn't provide enough cushion. Consistent increase in net income 2003-2005. From 2000 to 2006 stock price went virtually no where. 2000 to 2005 return on investment was good but 2006 took a beating with 12.1%.

The star of my portfolio sofar and getting stronger by the week. Some potential limits on the upside but so far so good.

heavy competition
Recs
Too many lawsuits happening with prescription drugs. Layoffs are happening often.

Diversifia yourself

Recent downgrade was a disgrace....stents are booming (perhaps best of class), smart management...Humira is a great product and don't see the slowing that prompted the downgrade....too cheap--should be trading at $55 minimum.
This is a conservative--nasty company--Miles White is a nasty SOB--just how I like them running my companies...
