SNY and BAX
SNY may be a good stock even though it's a bit pricy right now. P/E is about 21 at current prices but Sanofi has above average growth in the pharmaceutical sector and i recall them having a good track record.
The CEO predicts 20% earnings growth this year. A possible patent issue with Plavix (licensend to BMY) may be a problem. I'll put it in my watchlist and wait for a retreat.

BAX continues to overpromise and underdeliver - now it seems that they have backloaded the earnings for this year to make the forecast. Judging by their recent track record, i wonder if this will work. Even worse is the fact that they are consistently cash flow negative and continue to make acquisitions, their debt has increased to about 4.7B$ now which is a big red flag for me.
