The PPH is the Merrill Lynch Pharmaceutical sector stock comprised of the leading pharmaceutical companies listed on the US stock exchanges.

This stock, and before it's formation the major companies making it up, have been solid performers in every market downturn since 1970 either losing less than the market as a whole or actually going up while the market slides. It should be considered a strong candidate for portfolios that want to maximize returns through rotation vs those that are simply buy and hold.

This thread is being established to revive discussion on this stock and to ask for discussion on the merits of rotation into and out of this stock as a portfolio strategy.
