Hey Grunts
Sorry, had the math all screwed up. Today is week 1.6 using
my 20% work day formula.
Anyway , pretty uneventful day. Few hours at the gym in the AM
then picked up some sandwich steaks for some "home baked bread"
actually homemade philly cheese steaks with peppers & onions pinch of S n' P
Tenderized those puppies good !
GF came by during her lunch break for some food & afternoon delights
Figure if I was going to tenderize her meat, she just as well return the favor.
Don't know what the next 97.4 weeks hold .....but really don't care
Well gotta run. Shelby's begging for a run down the hills & lakes of SE Cali.
Schedule those GOD IMPORTANT LUNCHES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd world countries
3rd world companies
In the 90's when you joined novartis it was considered a stepping stone
into pharma that could open the doors to a real company like Pfizer
Merck , Lily.
It's not that nvs was particularly bad rather it wasn't particularly
good at anything.
Cobbled together from disparate parts , it's heyday was rooted in
Doan's back pils, ritalin & generics much like Teva.
One thing nvs managed to do was follow the leaders with increased
SOV & payoff schemes.
Were it not for sheer dumb luck in the arb market aka merck never focusing
on it's own arb & pfizer's licensing of amlo CV as you know it wouldn't have turned
into a cash cow. Yes it had a nice find with gleevec like any other proverbial
blind squirrel but lets look at the track record
Lotrel- efficacy thanks to pfizer . loss of patent battle
Starlix- dud
Zelnorm- withdrawn
Lamisil- black boxed
Lotensin- me too
Lescol- me too with added bonus of no efficacy
Exelon- me too dud
Enablex- me too dud
Fanapt - dud
Galvus- flop unapproved in USA
Focalin- flop
Extavia- flop
Tekturkey- flop
Amturdnide- Flop
Tekamlo- flop
Valturkey - Flop
Stalevo -Flop
Tobi -flop
Foradil-flop
Xolair-flop
Exjade -flop
Afinitor-flop
Put into perspective Lipitor or Plavix do more business than all their branded
pharma combined !
Nvs , a 3rd rate company with a 5th rate sales job.
Enjoy !
