In a correcting market like the one we have now...the overvalued blue chips are going to get hit extra hard. They've been on a long run and are due for a correction. If you look at the smaller cap stocks, those companies that have low PEs and are undervalued relative to the blue chips that have been on a tear for a number of years, you will see they were hit less hard today. All of this is very general of course and all IMHO.

PFE is a great stock and will continue to be an excellent long term play.

zurdo, the high P/E big pharmas have corrected more than the others (such as MRK) in today's big sell-off:

WLA - 8.37%
BMY - 4.67%
PFE - 4.5%
SGP - 3.98%
JNJ - 2.81%
MRK - 1.9%

To illustrate Dave's point, CA and PG (not lesser stocks, but they've corrected) are both up today.

No bad news on any of the big pharmas. The most recent Celebra news is the article at Post#4725.
