I was just reading a review of the drug companies which are showing excellent price rises this year including JNJ which I own some of. The article pointed out that JNJ plus 3 of the big drug distributors settled a major opioid class action in February as a group. I believe they built a good sized fund which many of the states agreed to split up among themselves. So why weren't TEVA and Perdue involved?

I don't have an answer. Maybe more directly responsible as Perdue certainly seems to have been. At any rate I have no feel for how many more cases and class actions TEVA faces. As usual, the price declined rapidly again after the brief surge with a settlement. I sold a few at $9 for the tax loss. But there are many more. And, of course we still suffer from the loss of exclusivity on the huge MS drug (whose name I hoped would come to me before now).

Copaxone? I was busy cheering for Tysabri from Elan (later BIIB) and hoping TEVA's offering would fall off a cliff at the time.
