If you remember, I chose to sell the stock 8 months later on the worries with the Vioxx lawsuits. Although I admit the timing of this is not necessarily a one for one exchange of shares, I think it does highlight the fact that people analyze stocks with different assumptions and come up with different perspectives on the future prospects of the company. 2million believed, and it appears he still does as he transferred his shares recently to a Sharebuilder account, that Merck’s prospects are good and the gains he has received will hold and grow in the future. I do not know, as I have not looked at the shares since I sold. I have just chalked that one up as poor timing on my part.

Next, I agree with you that this is probably a good time to get rid of MERCK. I read a report that states the company will handle each claim one at a time. So far I've seen two claims and two large rewards, and two dips in MERCK stock. I've added a link to your site on my blog. First of all, I enjoy reading your posts.

The great thing about the stock market is there's always another stock or index that will do the same thing. Good trading. Regards Black www.leverageyoureffort.com Hi DivGuy,
