Future Bleak

Cramer says that the future is bleak for Valeant.

This post was well ahead of the Wall street downgrade.

If layoffs occur at Valeant during the good times imagine what the Valeant world will be like if the stock starts to drop.

Fun times ahead.

He did not say that. People-read the article, do not listen to ne'er-do-wells like this one. Stock price downgrades are not only reflective of a companies' downfall-there is one...maybe there are two people who are Valeant haters-who were probably fired...doubt they are B + L transplants, who keep filling our boards with this trash.

Did Cramer use to work for Valeant? The analysis was fairly detailed and balanced as some of the risk has to do with what happens to interest rates which may or may not go higher. It is a simple calculation of odds. If this happens the odds of making money is less and if the probability of interest rates goes up happens then the chance of making money with Valeant goes down.

Cramerica is the best analyst in the country. He gives the strait scoop without bias.
 


















Valeant's business model is to buy a company and make it into a cash cow. They cut to the bone and squeeze as much as possible. B+L was a good buy because they could stamp a good quality brand on all the garbage they make. However, lack of investment in D&R and maintaining products will cause quality problems and brand erosion. Doesn't matter, because by then they would have moved on to the next purchase.
 






Well of course, you're in sales. The untouchables. Contact some of your non-sales peers (you know, the positions that require an education and skills) and see how they feel. Vast majority are with me.

Enjoy your financial benefits until that next big, highly leveraged, acquisition that they're already talking about. And if it's in eye health, start looking over your shoulder all over again. Think about it, Valeant has one true skill, one true product and that's synergy.

One thing I agree with you is that it's a new company and a new environment and like hundreds of others who've developed and built the products you sell, I'm out. I only wish I could get your opinions again in 6 months.

Last time I checked, sales rep REQUIREMENT was a Bachelor's Degree. You know, 4 years of college??!! I guess that doesn't count as education???

What a jewel you are. You obviously could not get a job in sales- takes brains AND personality-an ability to maintain relationships and communicate with all types of people.

If anyone out there doesn't like the current business model, look to the politicians you elect. The direction we are headed, by design, discourages (actually looks at with distain) any R&D activities as a waste of money and an unnecessary cost on the consumer.

What comes around, goes around... welcome to the new American Dream. Well done.
 






First of all the quote is idiotic since there is no context. Were pre-revolutionary war leaders "complaining" when they voiced their opinions and discontent with the British? What's killing creativity is stripping the organization of every penny and creating an environment of fear. What's killing creativity is the fact that employees are thinking a week or a month at a time because any longer than that is uncertainty. What's killing creativity is the absolute absence of communication or direction setting by the "leaders" of this company.

Your Pollyanna outlook is based on denial, not reality. You are as expendable and as unimportant to them as the thousands of others who've been tossed on the street. You are not an asset worthy of investment, you are a synergy opportunity. Your job brings the almighty shareholder value only through its elimination.

If you don't like what your reading, then stop reading! This is a bulletin board where we can express our concerns without worrying about the dark hand of Valeant.
