< Lot easier to justify acquisition using overvalued paper. Not sure,
but for now I think the fall in the prices of drug stocks is a slight negative>

You know what... I know the above would be conventional wisdom, but I don't buy it. First of all, once bio buyouts become in vogue... the slight problem of weak or strong currency won't matter, they'll just do it, they'll have to in order to keep up with the Joneses. Once the seed is planted they'll all just do it. Second think of past merger waves in ANY industry, things so much crazier than todays prices in bioworld have happened in each one, it makes todays bio prices look silly cheap. Lastly, look at the value of the deals we're talking about, the buyers stock price wouldn't effect them much unless a serious bear market started.

IMO all the big pharma stocks could correct 50% and it wouldn't mean beans to bio buyouts. This has just started... get on board!
