-The July, 1998 issue of Vogue features a cover article "What a Pill! The Ups and Downs of Viagra". The article also discusses the use of Viagra in women "Does Viagra have a feminine side?" never underestimate the buying power generated by this type of exposure...(link to july contents) karli.com with a tama janowitz byline, the *VIAGRA* article will influence a well heeled, trend grabbing audience, who will no doubt be tempted to pick up a phone before (they think) anyone else does...to buy. ahhahha....i'm (or the most part) serious, although i wouldn't bank on the spike. the bottom line: with the (yes anthony, i agree) overdone publicity about a (well within expectations) mortality rate, hardly worthy of focus, these image pieces provide balance with a more seductive spin. and there is always the free advertising (huge expenses??) angle...vogue is a great spot for a cover story.(august is historically their largest issue, but july is no slouch.)

The Peabody Report is intended to foster conversation on the PFEr Board. Invest only after conducting your own research. Have PFun! BigKNY3 __________________________________________________________ The Peabody Report: 6/27/98 Peabody Model Trend Prediction Based on historical PFE patterns, the Peabody Model predicts the following trend direction: PFE reached a pending Peabody Peak of 114.94 on June 18,1998 and is still headed higher to a new Peabody Peak of 119.75 by July 15, 1998.(6/21/98) Commentary Last week's non-action did not change the current PFE trend prediction. Since it is based primarily on historical trends and Mr. Peabody "gut feels", the Peabody Model should always be placed in context of the market environments and anticipated news. As evidenced by the mythical Peabody Portfolio (see section below), the Peabody Model works particularly well for PFE investors with a "buy, hold, and buy more at the Valley" investing strategy. New or pfuture PFErs could consider investing 50% immediately and investing the remainder at near Peabody Valleys. ......................................PFE.........................% Chg from...............# Days .....................................Date.........Price.......Last Price (6/26/98)......From Today Last Peabody Valley: .... 6/01/98 ....100.38.......... -10.3% .................-26 Last Peabody Peak:..... 6/18/98......114.94..........+2.7% ....................-9 Pending Forecasted Next Peak ......7/15/98......119.75..........+7.4%............... 18 Forecasted Next Valley....................... 102.00 (If Model is Wrong) ______________________________________________ Peabody Short-term PForecasts Peabody Short-Term PForecast (6/21/98): PFE: 111.50; DJ: 8,713: Short-term pressure due to the Zeldox non-approval will be countered by late June portfolio window-dressing, anticipation of second quarter earnings and growing Viagra Rxs (?). Decline on Monday am followed by gains at the end of the week. Evaluation of Peabody PForecast: Zeldox was a non-event. PFE just managed a slight gain for the week on low volume. A weak thumbs up! Peabody PForecast Record (67 weeks): 44-23 (66%) _________________________________________________________ Peabody Short-Term PForecast (6/27/98): PFE: 111.94; DJ: 8,944: Only two working days left for the second quarter.

The Wayback Machine indicates that PFE has announced a 2-1 split if PFE trade above 80 for 90 consecutive days. In the January, 1998 survey of 22 PFErs, only 43% felt that PFE will split in 1998. At the PFE Annual Meeting on April 23, 1998, management stated they will consider requesting additional authorized shares from shareholders later this year. Bottom line, the next PFE split will be 3-1 in the Fall, 1998 or March, 1999.
