Big Pharma Report: August 31, 1998 Due to the dramatic action of the general market, here is a special Big Pharma Report. A tough day to Have PFun! BigKNY3 _________________________________________ Big Pharma Review -Big Pharma declined 8.4% today as compared to the following market declines; Dow (-6.4%), S&P (-6.8%), and the NASTie (-8.6%). -All of the "Healthy 13" went down with the Dow with only SBH (-2.4%) declining less than 6.5%. The YTD leaders suffered the largest profit-taking; led by #1 WLA (-12.4%), #2 SGP (-9.5%), #3 AHP (-9.4%). #12 BMY (-9.9%) was particularly hit hard. -PFE declined 8.5% to 93 blowing passed the predicted Peabody Valley of 97.09. PFE is now 2 1/2 points lower than the day Viagra was approved (3/27/98; 95 1/2). -For August, Big Pharma declined 9.9% as compared to the following market declines; Dow (-15.1%), S&P (-14.6%), and the NASTie (-19.9%). -YTD, Big Pharma (+15.7%) remains in the plus column as compared to the Dow (-4.7%), S&P (-1.3%) and the NASTie (-4.5%). Every Big Pharma is showing a gain. Outlook As a long-term investor, panic selling is always the best time to buy. However, buying in this environment is like trying to catch a falling knife. You need to be careful not to get hurt. Be patient and watch for your opportunities and look for quality ie MSFT, CSCO, DELL and PFE. Gut-feel: I expect continued selling pressure followed by a dramatic rally initiated by speeches from Moscow. Remember: you still have your health!! Good luck to all. _________________________________________________________ Market Environment Links -Briefing.com Market Updates briefing.com -Briefing.com Market Environment briefing.com PFE News Links Yahoo Link quote.yahoo.com Motley Fool Link quote.fool.com Pink Sheets. fdcreports.com ED News Links Yahoo Link quote.yahoo.com Motley Fool Link quote.fool.com
