Speaking of LLY, I just caught the tail end of the CNBC interview with Vietor, Merrill Lynch's pharma analyst. He did note that although Evista started slowly for preventing osteoporosis, it's potential application for preventing breast cancer could turn it into a $ Billion drug fairly quickly.

He mentioned the upcoming ASCO presentation and felt that the pharmas were expensive, but not necessarily out of line with the S&P 500.
When asked for one drug company, he mentioned BMY, SGP, and "now LLY" and acknowledge that Merrill Lynch had buy recs on all three.
(LLY set an all time high today)
