Awfully big company, something like a market cap of 50B.
(nope....my guess was wrong--turns out it 87B at the
moment)

I'd say it is pretty healty, heheh. What I'd like to know...is that Michael Dorn of Star Trek TNG doing the voice over on those commericals?

Probably no sense in trying to pick individual pharmas, maybe go for a healthcare fund? How do you get the best bang for your investment dollar? You might look at Elan and Sepracor, otherwise, these big pharmas seem to trade based on sector rotation as much as anything, imho. I owned Aventis for a few weeks, traded it badly--now I see it is moving up, rats.
