$40 and change and dropping

And?

 

Surprise announcement

 

Troll

 

GSK screwed up royally by not taking Pfizer's offer.

 

Why would anyone want to be bought by Pfizer.......no comprende !?

 

Agreed, who would want a Pfizer merger except for the investment bankers, lawyers, and senior execs with golden parachutes. Study after study indicate that Pharma mergers fail to provide substantial benefit to shareholders or to the companies involved. Just look at the GW and SK merger which at the time created the second largest pharmaceutical company but since the 2001 merger euphoria, the stock price , sales, and profit have been in decline. GW certainly did not need to merge and was a terrific company.

In fact perhaps the best move now is to split GSK into multiple companies which trade as individual stocks but could still use GSK as a holding company and use their large supply chain, country footprints.

 

Totally agree. A takeover (not a merger really) would have been in the interests of the financial professionals and short term shareholders who bought this year, then try and force the company to be bought out, they then take their money and go to another company and repeat the cycle. That is why Valeant was popular, until the real effect of what that does comes out and very few benefit.

 

What the announcement on Dec 4? I thought sales reps to be forced ranked on Dec 8

 

just the preliminary rounds on 4th

 

$39 and dropping.

 

$0 and potentially rising. The overall market has declined since mid October. Lets focus on the fundamentals not short term stock market froth.

 

Typo - $40

 

RTP being shuttered... this time it's real. 2 years, then hello hoagies and cheesesteaks!

 

Dec 4th has come and gone. Townhall meeting unveiled nothing. Bottom line, no layoffs for at least another 12 months. Come back next year troll!

 

You are correct for all of the employees except the troll. His manager has asked him to reapply for his position as towel boy in the gym

 

What comes first, breaking through to 38.xx or 41? #flagging
