Merck stock descending to a more reasonable level…real value around $25.00?

A. Gary Shilling has been dead on for many years about the subject of deleveraging. The stock market is in a bubble its real PE is about 25.5 not 16 due to interest rates and other factors. 25 is very high and should fall but the timing of this fall will be difficult to forecast. He also believes that the 30 year bond currently around 3% yield will continue to fall to 2. He also believes the 10 year treasury will fall from 2 to 1. If treasuries fall as he suggests what will happen to the corporate bond rates? It seems they will fall as well. We are also entering into a currency war since lowering local currency will boost exports from asian countries to the US and Europe. This will lead to deflation. It is a mess.

 

Get out of the market all together. Bill in the isolated mountains, store emergency foodstuffs, h2o, arms and ammo, bullion hoarding, seeds for growing food, alternate energy sources. The end is near

 

WTF? Can anyone justify holding this stock?

 

Hold This Senator!

 

MRK isn't worth anywhere near $25 per share.

 

How to make a small fortune in the stock market, invest a large fortune in merck.

 

Wait until the stock holders meeting. Announcements will drive stock backup to 60s range. Buy now and buy large

 

Well the meeting is next week so we will see how accurate you are.

 

I hope you're not investing anyone else's money. Being that stupid, you deserve to lose your own.

 

Ken Frazier firing more people? That is all he knows how to do. Company is crumbling under his leadership. Every product that Merck has launched the past 6 years has failed miserably for most part and you can't fire everyone.

 

Isn't it time to have a company run by doctors who know the business at hand. People are perplexed why there are so few doctors steering this ship.

Unusual. Wouldn't you agree?

 

You must understand that the focus at Merck over the last decade has been single-fold. Management is interested in stealing as many millions of dollars as possible. If 40,000 families get shafted in the process, so be it. If the company is destined for minor-player status, so be it. As long as management keeps robing the company of millions of dollars---every single year---then everything is going as planned.

FU Merck.

 

They say a rising tide lifts all boats. Yet today the market is up significantly and MRK is in the red. How messed up us that? Ken can't even keep the boat afloat.

 

this person gets it…Merck is not in the health care business…Merck is not in the pharmaceutical business…Merck is not in the research and discovery business…Merck is in the business of enriching its senior managers, using the company as a piggy bank, and providing corporate welfare for life to its middle managers…that is what Merck is about…Screw everybody else and throw them under the bus, so that managers can make out like bandits….

 

Pretty true. Middle management needs cuts.

 

Glad you are out of the company. Lazy, complaining, useless delislinger!

 

Lazy? Maybe. I don't know the person.
Complaining? Not as far as I can tell.
Useless? Probably not.
Delislinger? If he/sha is/was a rep, these absolutely yes. They're all delislingers.

That said, the person to whom you replied is 100% correct, as was the person to whom he replied. Management is enriched while destroying the lives of its employees and their families. It truly is an evil organization.

 

The enormous cuts begin very soon. No xmas gifts, no turkey dinner, no santa claus no nothing!

 

Frazier is the darling of wall street. He delivered increased earnings on decreased revenue.
