April's STWs LLY (+6.9%) and PFE (+6.0%) paced the sector while SBH (-7.9%) and MRK (-4.7%) disappointed in pipeline and earnings reports. Only PFE set an an-time high this week based on early Viagra reports. The actual reported high varies depending on the quote service from 105.38 to 106.5. WLA made a strong recovery on Friday (+6 9/16) as a result of reports of Lipitor's increased market share. Actually old news...check out last week's Big Pharma Report. APRIL 1998 Big Pharma is flat (+0.7%) as compared to the Dow (+4.2%), S&P (+1.9%), and the NASTIE (+1.7%). This year's only Pharma decliner LLY is making a big comeback in April (+14.7%) followed by PFE (+5.5%). April is historically PFE's second best month ...averaging +7.0% since 1993.
