Hooray! The biggest devaluation of our stock since AZ rejected Pfizer. What could have been, or what will come to be? The golden question. Will AZ stock ever, ever recover? So, looking back to May 2014 when we rejected them, what are your thoughts now? Was it a huge mistake,or the right decision to stay as one?
There are always big losses with a merger; people get cut and now is not the time to lose your job because there are none. So be glad it was not AZ for now.
Pascal's ego got in the way of an AZ/Pfizer merger. He knew he would never be the new CEO. This will go down as a huge mistake on his part. Pascal should have been fired long, long ago.
Our time will yet come. Look at history - every five years they have to feed the vulcan. Plan your exit accordingly. THey have to come knocking every 5 years.
It's not Pascal's fault, it's the AZ Board of Directors. If you were Pascal, and a group (The AZ Board) approached you and said, "We'll give you a million bucks up front, and then we'll pay you more than the leaders of most of the world's countries make, plus you'll get a month off, cadillac benefits, and guaranteed severance (enough to buy an Island and a staff of servants / security guard army / supplies for life and a Swedish bikini team) -- I mean COME ON! What would you do, sell out?
