Election year US 2020, big pharmaceuticals easy target for price cuts etc from the politicians.

[arja] 31/12/2019 08:14

no, except when brexiters like you want to push your cause . politics and hence currencies affect share prices you clown !! look at AZN today !

[holts] 27/12/2019 08:51

This is not a political forum .

[arja] 24/12/2019 08:35

weak start as wind down to xmas occurs ! might be nice to top up today if it gets even weaker .

[chc15] 23/12/2019 09:51

Lol 3 rns in one day! this company doesn't stop, newsflow and cash non stop.

[arja] 23/12/2019 08:44

thought it might kick on today although sterling a bit stronger . But pound is now set on a downtrending path I think with at best a poor trade deal agreed by Johnson .

[arja] 22/12/2019 21:16

yes and now chart shows a NOR situation. Also, sterling is now falling and likely to
keep doing so even if gradually as even if Johnson agrees a deal it will not be that
much better than a NO DEAL . We have the best deal at present as a leading member of the EU with much influence . AZN seems to perform better than GSK which also has a nice chart !

Good news with the breast cancer approval 3 months earlier than expected

[chc15] 20/12/2019 10:06

Another day, another rns, this must be record for the number of announcements in a year!

[arja] 19/12/2019 16:42

yes, chartwise it looks good now and falling pound helping as the disaster of brexit
becomes apparent and a likely NO DEAL outcome in late 2020 unless Johnson caves it
to the EU terms which will be tough as rightly they looks after interests of members of the club .

[chc15] 19/12/2019 15:09

This stock is classic buy on any dip..

[arja] 17/12/2019 13:12

funny old share as has retreated today as pound weakens .

[arja] 17/12/2019 08:23

roaring today as weaker sterling because of realisation that brexit is not a good thing .

[chc15] 16/12/2019 10:21

Yeh the newsflow on this is crazy, I don't even read them anymore, this co has too much cash lol.

[arja] 16/12/2019 09:56

near that 7415 forecast now and sterling coming off a bit after early rally !

[arja] 16/12/2019 08:20

motoring today and GSK too ! hoping for a typical santa clause rally

[montyhedge] 15/12/2019 22:15

It's not Boris it's Trump, election year easy pharmas easy target, pound strong, not good for the dollar earners.Thought be a brief bounce in Astra on Tory win, but not to be.

[arja] 15/12/2019 21:39

I suppose the uncertainty removed for a year overrides the negativity of stronger sterling but that might wear off soon. sterling might hold up in 2020 but will be hammered if we leave with NO DEAL as some in the nasty party prefer . Not Johnson as he knows a weak economy after crash out is bad news for Tory re-election prospects . Interesting times ahead ! Pound has come off quite a bit since it hit 1.35.

[turvart] 14/12/2019 12:16

Montyhedge,

You say a bounce if Boris wins to 7415, then you state dollar earners lower profits and divvy of which is right, so why state it was going to 7415 when you should know full well if Boris won then Sterling would rally? you just don't make sense.

[chc15] 13/12/2019 10:29

Maybe, but I'll buy more then, as this stock is solid, they have loads of cash coming in, and there is strong institutional buying at this level.

[arja] 13/12/2019 10:20

chc15 ,
well done as it seemed oversold and I was tempted but held off buying !

[montyhedge] 13/12/2019 10:15

Pharma's not the sector to be in, dollar earners, lower profits and dividends on currency conversion. Trump will try and get drug prices down in an election year, vote winner. I see 6885p.

[chc15] 13/12/2019 09:19

Bought more earlier, was down loads, recovered now

[montyhedge] 12/12/2019 17:28

Thought I read vote in US to lower drug prices, only caught the end of it, so not sure, but shareprice has come off.
