Hi Paul - Took a small position in MRK to add to some of the other drug stocks I own. Sold a small position in HAL which I purchased several years ago (below 10) when they were having their asbestos problems. I had owned MRK almost a year ago but sold it around $30 when they announced their Vioxx drug problems. Hope this is the right time to scale back into a position. =============================================================== What's your value criteria on Price/Sales for a wholesaler/manufacturer? I am looking at Newell Rubbermaid since their CEO resigned recently. A new management team might get their sales growth back on track which could generate higher near term profits. P/S is 0.99 according to Yahoo Finance. finance.yahoo.com EKS
