Joe Kernan just gave his take on the failed merger. Indicated that SBH would be down about 10% and GLX closed at $62 but was indicated to open at $53.50. He thought that deal reflected poorly on sector. Affected many lives and fell apart because of personalities.

Noted that SBH had failed twice now, raising questions in investor's minds. He also indicated that he was disappointed. Thought that genomics and screening of large libraries complimented each other, and he was excited about a $3 R&D budget.

Followup CNBC report indicates that big deals made be harder to do than initially expected and investors should look at pharmas that already had good pipelines. One analysts cited LLY and WLA as examples.
