zurdo you are probably right but PFE has demonstrated similar activity in the recent past so I don't know what to think. It could be soley based on the fact that for what ever reason the Rx data has not been rreleased and therefore people are expecting the worst. Hold on this could be an interesting day.

Again I'll say WHERE IS ANTHONY!

More crap...

The Motley Fool - June 23, 1998 12:36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 23, 1998/FOOLWIRE/ -- Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) dipped $1 9/16 to
$109 15/16 on news that Aetna Inc.'s (NYSE: AET) Aetna/U.S. Healthcare
managed care unit won't pay for the drug company's impotence pill Viagra
under its regular coverage. Aetna/U.S. Healthcare, which has 13.7 million
members, will give employers the option of paying more to cover Viagra. Last
week, Kaiser Permanente announced it would stop coverage on Viagra to avoid
having to increase rates.

BTW, I apologize for the Furman Selz downgrade, that was yesterday's news!!!

Zurdo, Perry and all: sorry, I was posting on the other board and hadn't read this board till a while ago. Noted that BigKNY3 had already posted the scripts. IMHO the Street is just taking profit, using the Aetna news as an excuse. BTW, Aetna news on pharma news thread. Kind regards.
