During H1N1 Mexico outbreak, Fast $ talked @ who made 'antivirals'. GSK was cheaper of two. Bought at $30/sh. Then, GSK one of chosen to develop vaccine.
GSK testing Malaria vaccine on poor African kids. Last news was 50% success in vaccinated Toddlers. GSK stated intent to keep costs very low due to poverty in resources of this group-gave them a score for compassion. Such a bad disease, with only those w/ that horrid 'sickle cell' disease immune.
IMO, GSK will do great by 2020,good 2-5 years, well in 1 yr barring a 'black swan' event! tks

The Illinois demagogue is very friendly toward Big Pharma.

Operates with high margins, has good cash generation and a conservative balance sheet. Modest current valuation.

Sirtrius a GSK subsidiary has two drugs coming through clinical trials. If they are as effective against type II diabetes as expected you can expect GSK to add billions to it's bottom line over the next 5 years.

Mmm...pharmaceuticals...

This Berkshire holding boasts a substantial dividend yield, and has the necessary financial strength to weather a short to medium term "double dip" in the economy.

GlaxoSmithKline has two blockbusters coming off patent in 2010 which will affect the bottom line in the near-term. While GSK has a healthy pipeline, it also is sitting on over $10 Billion worth of currency (most of it in dollars). I suspect that it will try to put some (or all) of this cash to work with an acquisition (to try to further compensate for the loss of Advair and Avandia). Between acquisition costs, taxes to repatriate some of the funds, and any goodwill, I don't believe the imminent acquistion will be accretive until 2011 at the earliest.

I just laid on a bunch of shorts and closed most of my longs. Adding some defensive names here as I think we go down starting tomorrow (now that window dressing is done). I could be wrong but I think the next shoe is about to drop ... it might be employment data or commercial real estate ... don't know.
