Merck and Schering are way up from their recent lows- and AZN is off its recent highs. There is more money to be made here, but making the same trades I recommended last week.

Pharmaking is a pharmaquack.
Nothing improves lipids as well as Vytorin---even ENHANCE proved that. If your doctor re3commends discontinuing Vytorin, find another doctor---one with enough intellect to get past the USA Today headlines.

I donn't know who John G is or what he does but only a fool would take his anonymous advice over that of a licensed doctor.

I could barely read the article, it' all scrunched. I don't see any evidence that the author is a licensed Dr.

total daily -32.9& 7 day rolling average -22.3%
Zetia new -41.9%, 7 day -30.9%. Daily market share is down to 4.1%
total -30.9, 7 day - 20.1%
I am happy to continue to post these daily numbers if there is interest.

Dont have the daily numbers yet.
But here are the weekly ones. These are somewhat older- for the week ending 4/4.
Vytorin yoy new -29% total -20%. Market share new 8.2%
Zetia yoy new -26 and total -19%. Market share new 4.8%
Crestor yoy new +10% total +6%. Market share new 9.5%
All of these numbers represent recent records( lows for Vytorin and Zetia and Highs for Crestor)
This likely explains the sell off of SGP and to a lesser extent MRK we are seeing today.
The daily numbers we has seen so far, suggest that next weeks numbers will show even more substantial changes.
