As long as there is something that needs chemical testing or pharmaceutical development, I believe that this stock continue grow.

Price/Earnings and Price/Book Value have seriously outpaced actual and expected growth in the last 4-6 months. Eventually this sucker is coming back to Earth, and I won't be the one holding the bag.

SIAL is a pretty safe bet. With a beta of 0.76, it is less risky than the market. SIALs financials are much stronger than the industry average, and they have a smart mangement team. Sigma-Aldrich also has a really low debt level. SIAL is a steady performer, and its share prices have moved up at a pretty steady rate. And, though this stock may not have spectacular short-term gains, it is a safe, long-term play. Since it divested its metals division and decided to focus on research chemicals, it has outperformed steadily for the last 6-7 years.

Very underpriced for a high quality health chemical research stock. Their pipeline of antibodies to link to all 22,000 known human proteins will be vital for future research in all fields of medicine.
