I agree, Growth was good and the future looks good. At these levels I think this is a great buy. I think this is a bit of an over reaction. If the split rumors are correct this will take off.

Drug maker Merck and Co. (NYSE: MRK) lost $2 15/16 to $120 9/16
after reporting Q1 EPS of $0.95 compared to $0.82 a year ago, which
missed the First Call mean estimate by a penny. Sales growth in the period was hampered by the divestiture of the firm's crop protection unit and foreign exchange costs, which shaved two percentage points from revenue growth alone.

We're losing money today, because of this crop protection stuff? GEEZ!!!!!
