American Home, Merck Are Good Bets Among Overpriced Drug Stocks

New York, May 31 (Bloomberg) -- American Home Products Corp.
is a favorite of Everen Securities Inc. chief investment
strategist Rao Chalsani, who looks for bargains in what he
considers overpriced sectors, Forbes magazine reported. Merck &
Co. is another drug company that Chalsani likes, while he warns
that Pfizer Inc. is one to avoid. Chalsani picks Qualcomm Inc.
out of the expensive technology sector and predicts a 40 percent
yearly growth rate for the company over the next five years, the
magazine said.

Earlier this month, American Home Products bought closely
held Apollon Inc., a biotechnology company that's been working on
DNA-based vaccines for herpes, hepatitis and the virus that
causes AIDS.
