Lilly stock price

[Anonymous]

Look at how the price rose sharply just before the ex-div data (11-Feb) http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=LLY+Basic+Tech.+Analysis&t=3m and how it has normalized to a P/E of 7, which is a little Enronesque. Get those resumes out !!!

Yes indeed. When you look back to the documents that became public during the Zyprexa mess, you have to wonder why Sid isn't in jail.

It's true, if you look at long-term debt, it's roughly the same as "net tangible assets" -- also the "negative goodwill" is probably increasing rapidly with the reallocation increase.

In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders released this morning, Warren Buffett says more "major" acquisitions are needed to maintain growth in the company's non-insurance businesses at a "decent rate."

Buffett writes: "We will need both good performance from our current businesses and more major acquisitions. We're prepared. Our elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy."

At the end of 2010, Berkshire had a lot of ammunition for that elephant gun: $38 billion in cash.

could it be.... Lilly? Welcome Warren. Bye, John.

That's part of why Berkshire always keeps at least $20 billion cash on hand for unforeseen events or investment opportunities, he said.

Warren is interested only in good companies that are run well. Obviously, Lilly is not one of those companies. Warren didn't become a billionaire by buying companies like Lilly.

Thanks to our sweat the company has had astounding FINANCIAL success over the past decade, while science has taken a very distant second seat - the back of the bus?

Very interesting link. Book value is 12 bucks a share. If the stock was trading at that price, the dividend would be almost 20% per year .... veritable junk bond yields.

where oh where did $3B increase in free cash flow come from in last quarter? I don't know, or care, but it looks like the company car is driving on borrowed fumes.
