You live on the slopes of Mt. St. Helens and have a short-term, "relative" perspective? I'm largely in cash, so a very small part of me understands that today was good, but.... the average stock that I do own? It took a good beating today.

What's the damage to pharma and biotech -- total capitalization -- from the spotlight on by a single Merck product?

Rumor and fear mongers out and about, it's fun to watch. A CNBC reporter was commenting, right around the close, that JNJ took a hit... sounded like the Centocor anti-TNF and B lymphoma story. People running stocks/options around by whatever works.

I'd say that Joe Kernan, on CNBC, said "Topol" twenty seven thousand times today, give or take.
