Pfizer’s Viagra is a blockbuster (probably the biggest in the last 2 decades), but how long can it support Pfizer? Time is running out to come out with the next blockbuster. For that purpose, Pfizer decided to acquire Wyeth, which has a better drug discovery pipeline, and more diversification in revenues, that can provide stable revenues. But, it looks like Pfizer has overpaid for Wyeth. Agreed, that Wyeth is a great business, but Pfizer agreed to pay 68 billion in this recessionary environment. Pfizer has also acquired rights to 12 sterile injectable products in the US and Europe. Pfizer should pay a much higher price for their recklessness and racial disregard for others.

Pfizer did not say whether Wyeth CEO Bernard Poussot would have a role after the deal closes but it has said he would stay on through the transition. Poussot is in line to get $53 million in severance payments if the acquisition is completed, according to regulatory filing last month.

Pfizer also operates several other businesses, including the manufacture of gelatin capsules, contract manufacturing and bulk pharmaceutical chemicals.

In June 2008, Pfizer completed the acquisition of all remaining outstanding shares of common stock of Encysive Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Pfizer has programs that can help, no matter your age or income. You may even qualify for free Pfizer medicines.

Pfizer has still not directly contacted the valve recipients. In January 1991, a suit was filed against the company in the USA on behalf of 55,000 valve recipients. Pfizer’s contributions will include expertise in the design and execution of clinical studies and interaction with global regulators as well as in product manufacturing techniques.

The collaboration will examine how human embryonic stem (hES) cells differentiate into retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with the goal of developing stem cell-based therapies primarily for wet and dry macular degeneration (AMD). Pfizer charges much lower prices for the same drug in Thailand, Indonesia, India and other countries in the region.

Pfizer claims it is the first pharmaceutical company to put in place a comprehensive program of this type focused on EPC authentication as a means of deterring counterfeiting. Pfizer reinforces its message with direct-to-consumer magazine ads, such as one featuring a virile looking man around 40 saying: “A lot of guys have occasional erection problems. I chose not to accept mine and asked about Viagra.”

Corporate Affairs and Governance
Pfizer now requires shareholder approval for its use or that the Board of Directors seek ratification of its use should they initiate a poison pill defence without approval. Other reforms the company implemented include requiring annual elections for all Directors, and for Directors that receive a majority of withheld.

Pfizer doesn’t have to grant the advisory vote the shareholders want. And even if it does, shareholders can’t actually set executive compensation — that power is reserved for corporate boards.

While there are many different types of investments that one can make, there are really only three specific investment styles – and those three styles tie in with your risk tolerance.

The three investment styles are conservative, moderate, and aggressive.

Naturally, if you find that you have a low tolerance for risk, your investment style will most likely be conservative or moderate at best.

If you have a high tolerance for risk, you will most likely be a moderate or aggressive investor. At the same time, your financial goals will also determine what style of investing you use.

If you are saving for retirement in your early twenties, you should use a conservative or moderate style of investing – but if you are trying to get together the funds to buy a home in the next year or two, you would want to use an aggressive style.

Conservative investors want to maintain their initial investment. In other words, if they invest $5000 they want to be sure that they will get their initial $5000 back. This type of investor usually invests in common stocks and bonds and short term money market accounts.

An interest earning savings account is very common for conservative investors.

A moderate investor usually invests much like a conservative investor, but will use a portion of their investment funds for higher risk investments. Many moderate investors invest 50% of their investment funds in safe or conservative investments, and invest the remainder in riskier investments.

An aggressive investor is willing to take risks that other investors won’t take. They invest higher amounts of money in riskier ventures in the hopes of achieving larger returns – either over time or in a short amount of time. Aggressive investors often have all or most of their investment funds in the stock market.

Determining what style of investing you will use will be determined by your financial goals and your risk tolerance. No matter what type of investing you do, however, you should carefully research that investment.

You must ask questions about (a) timeframe of investment (b) expected returns (c) business plan/projections. Never invest without having all of the facts!
