What ever happened to the Rx numbers (not IMS) that use to come out on Fridays? Barrons is really looking like it has a hidden agenda, or just sloppy reporting and editing.

BigKNY3-

Correct me if wrong, but in the long time I have been reading Barron's, and since Mr. Abelson has taken over the editorial page, I have not seen him express optimism about anything, unless his bearishness is his expression of optimism over the fall of the market. I find him insightful but often depressing. Eventually all the bears will be able to say , 'Hey, see how right I was?' You just have to note how many years they've been predicting the fall, before we think they ARE profits. Like the hypochondriac's tombstone- 'Do you believe me NOW when I told you how sick I was?'

I liked portions of his article today particularly for iteration of the world landscape, i.e. Russian chaos, et. al. We are certainly in the sweet spot on the planet and the rest of the globe does have some serious, serious ethical, moral, political, environmental and humanitarian problems-BIG TIME. And I am concerned about the market, because of the world conditions, not just the 'appearance' of over valuations.

Will be very interesting how Mondays #'s read, what with the 'death news' hanging over last weeks Rx writing. And interesting if down at all, to compare with next Monday after PFE made the statements about safety.

BigK- Very Curious what your read is for this week and the month.

Along with other long and options/leaps, I hold June 105's. As you may know I thought Friday would be a jump up but I was skunked.

Thanks for your thoughts and pre. post!

Much abliged! (sp? not in my dictionary!)
