Amgen

























I'll bite, what's the significance of Amgen? Merger or acquisition?

Amgen is looking to acquire with its massive cash reserves. There are three potential targets: AstraZeneca, Celgene, and Alexion. The smart money says we can rule out AZ because it is not a good fit except for its oncology pipeline and you have to buy the whole thing not just the bits you like. So it is really between Celgene and Alexion. How would you feel about becoming employees of Amgen?

I wouldn't feel anything because I dont work for Alexion. I would like to cash in my stock at a premium though.
