You confuse facts with negativity but then again that thong you're wearing under your Novartis skirt struck in your ass crack & those teal blue pom poms they provide you to rah rah this sinking titantic of a pharma co clouds your judgement. For instance
1) Generic Diovan HCT approved
2) Generic Gleevec now available
3) Monumental Devastating legal loss in India
4) Generic Reclast approved
5) Generic equivalents for Exforge
6) Generic equivalents for Exelon & soon the patch
7) OTC mfg problems continue
8) Quality issues from Sandoz
9) Poor performance by gilenya with a major competitor released
10) Hundreds of millions lost annually by Diagnostics & 7 billion wasted on Chiron
11) Non existent pipeline despite billions wasted by NIBR
12) Desperation to re-launch horrible black boxed tekturkey
Stopping at 12 since your pea brain will have a hard time rationalizing & responding with some Novartis corporate shill talking point .
BTW-- yes a rising tide lifted all boats including the paper tiger known with symbol NVS
there is a reason there has been no unique insider purchases in almost a year
executives know something the average joe does not , yet , we all know what that is don't we
