Blanket pick on the CRO market under the assumption that it will return to growth in 2010. This just seems like the right time to make this call (we'll see).

CVD is the tool that most drug companies need to employ to replenish their stable of proprietary drugs. They do not need to sell drugs, but need the demand to bring new drugs to market.

Pummeled. Absolutely pummeled. From $100 to $40 this year.
But the company remains solid in every respect, and is almost guaranteed a comeback. Not to mention that the biotech sector is seeing some action as a hedge against a recession. I'm loading up on biotechs, but would probably take CVD either way.
I put it at $60 by June.

Pharma is among the least affected industries, however they are seeking cost reductions, effiiciency gains, etc like everyone else. The usual and likely avenue for that is CROs, and if you read the news for this company, they are already reeping rewards.

FIrstly it's quite clear this one has only dropped because of the market volatility. A sector leader constantly improving on itself, as is evidenced in a number of accolades this year from its own customers. The only thumbs down below is obviously from a peta activist -- all sane writers here are thumbs up. Other than a full blown market crash, this one practically HAS to go back up. 60$ easy when the indices trend up, 80$ when recession talk dies, and 100$ a year after that.
