Stock is looking great!

I realize the market has dropped but why is Merck dropping at an even greater percentage?

Have you taken a look at Merck's balance sheet? Not to mention all the money they had to go out and raise bonds (borrow) to pay Cubist.

Yeah, just wait until Ken F's state of the union address on Tuesday.

The Cubist deal was among the worst in Pharma history. Naturally, we were part of it.

The historical lesson to be learned is the abysmal hiring of thousands of unethical, unmotivated, criminals into the Merck house. The sooner the whole apparatus is dismantled the better for my stock returns. Soup kitchens and breadlines to you all!

His spin is always pathetic and yet comical.

This has nothing to do with that, actually. You are an idiot.

Once again, market is up and MRK is down. WTF?

Revenue down 19%, breaks forecast by 1 cent, time for considerably more downsizing. Get them gone, I want more returns.

Stock keeps running even as employee morale continues to plummet and the powers that be keep preaching the need to take things from us to "save" the company. I think it is time they start giving back to employees who have stayed loyal!

Be Well!

The captain and chief are dumping the stock. Go figure. Great timing as insiders they should know that EPS will be adjusted down. Great call.

"Merck, the world's fourth-biggest drugmaker by revenue, predicted adjusted profit of $3.32 to $3.47 per share in 2015, well below the $3.50 analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting. Merck said it expects full-year revenue in the range of $38.3 billion to $39.8 billion, while analysts were anticipating $40.46 billion."

"But revenue fell more than 7% year over year, missing Wall Street projections by $30 million, and Merck forecast that full-year 2015 revenue would fall more than 5% year over year."

Get real Ken. Now you are blaming a strong dollar for your problems? Try considering that Merck is a weak company run by an incompetent corner office. How many quarters of reduced market share and revenues does it take for investors to realize that you are not getting the job done? You have already admitted that it isn't happening in 2015 and we must wait until 2016 to see how your grand strategy plays out.

"Problems"? I have no stinking "problems". Did you see the previous post. I unloaded at 62+ per share. I guess I do have problems, tax problems.

Be Well,

Today marks the beginning of what will be a steady decline in MRK over the next couple of years. The run up to $62 was completely unwarranted and quite obviously manufactured by our own illustrious management, who needed to unload their shares at the highest point possible. They should all be in jail. These scum suckers cash in on millions while tens of thousands were shown the door. It's enough to make you sick.

We are not at the beginning, we are in the middle of it. Today offers just another milestone metric in the steady decline of Merck. Revenues have been less than the previous year every year in the last 4 and are projected to do so again in 2015. Even so investors have pushed this stock up to levels not seen since 2001 and 63% of the stocks all time high in 2000. I for one never understand this disconnect between company and stock performance. Reality will eventually catch up.

It is no secret that the executives skim value from this company without providing any.

2014 banner year according to the man on stage this week. Future is bright, Januvia up 5% over last year and Belsomra could be a superb first in class winner by years end... Where's the love?

The man on stage is an empty, grotesquely overpaid suit.
