Quote from psytrade:
They need to put something in their pipeline to smoke. Its too late for that.
There is no blockbuster's going forward. Wyeth is a research oriented firm, and PFE is more or less a Marketing firm. It was designed to save money now, and pad some investment bankers accounts.
Going forward even with a shorter time horizon, these synergies will get eaten up and the obvious facts will appear, namely that PFE has no organic growth, because the pipeline in the entire industry is empty.
