MCK was actually worth substantially more in the eyes of the street before the merger. The street has never favored this get together and now that they have slipped they are getting creamed.

My gut tells me that any additional restatements will be minimal and all this will clear out about the time the overall markets pull back on the next 12% correction. Also, MCK did not say the revenue would go away but indicated it would be allocated to quarters as it becomes more firm and less contingent.

I believe that yesterday discounted the value of the whole damn thing to zero. With that in mind MCK is a good buy for long term hold.

It's interesting but I have heard noone discuss, even before the debocle, the distribution strategy that seems to be taking shape leveraging e-commerce initiatives and partnerships.
