    Every DOW stock is rebounding today except MRK. What does that tell you?

    Then leave! Sick of these worthless employees.

    Don't leave, sell. Your reaction is way too defensive. Investor perspective, not employee perspective.

    A rising tide raises all ships, unless it's the Titanic.

    Nice! Been here 20 years and exercised all my options two weeks ago. Enough to buy a new remote control for my tele and half a tank of gas for my 1988 volvo. Dang Smerck!

    That is way more than you deserved. A PC hire filling a government need and did nothing of value. I hope you didn't have to buy the battery for the remote

    Glum from Gulliver's Travels looks like the optimist in the room when you start to add up all the things wrong with Merck. I know people like to bitch on this site (an understatement if there ever was one), but seriously, I would like to see the "glass is half full crowd" list all the positive signs that will save Merck from the death spiral path it has so eagerly embraced. My guess is that the list will be about as long as cankles Clintons list of accomplishments

    Considering that Ken and his team are operating from the corporate liquidation playbook, Merck employees should have very little long-term optimism.

    Interesting that no one has responded. Is there no one that can plead the positive side for Merck?

    Death spiral. There's nothing positive about it. And now Januvia will tank, too.

    Patent cliff for Januvia is when?

    2020, but I don't think it was the patent cliff to which they were referring. New warnings and new competitors are about to cause a decline in Januvia sales. They are correct is this prediction.

    Once the Januvia cash cow stumbles MRK will be in panic mode. KF will accelerate his slash and burn strategy at a level we have yet to see. Primary goal is to eliminate as many expenses and liabilities (ex: pensions, headcount) off the books as possible and seek a merger. Timeline, 8-12 quarters.

    Merck will be replaced on the Dow 30 before 2019. So yes, 12 quarters.

    new safety warning came out from FDA last week about januvia/ddp 4 and severe joint pain. coupled with jardiance outcomes trial - could be a big hit for ddp 4 class.

    Merck has been in panic mode for many years running. With good reason, might I add. This company has gone from stalled, to faltering, to panic mode and now to the steady decline into oblivion.

    Frazier, please justify your compensation package. The performance of this stock is clearly below expectations.

    Definitely not below my expectations. I always thought the stock would go below 45 before it hit 60. It takes a bit more patience as the investors remain unaware of just how poorly the daily operations of this company are managed. Each quarter report brings this problem into better focus.
