I’ve held Teva for almost four years now and in my portfolio of over 40 stocks, Teva was one of the only stock that did not tank over the past year. I’m back up to almost par (averaged) but Teva is up 31% and holding. If for no other reason, hold it as a hedge (if that’s the right word).

What is the possibility that the information (published in the Las Vegas Sun 10/13/2009, UPI Top U.S. News) below will adversely affect TEVA’s price performance in the near term (12-18 months)?

“Attorneys for a Las Vegas doctor’s patients who contracted hepatitis say they’re going after an Israeli medical supplier [TEVA] for hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Thank you for now iincluding your earnings and P/E projections for your projected prices. This is extremely helpful as a counter-point to my establishing my own target price. Great job!

Interesting point TerryW makes. I agree with Jim’s focus here on Teva though name brand companies could keep margins in check – though Teva should have a competitve advantage over these given its pure focus.

Jim,

Just wondering why you aren’t going with this one or WRB in your own portfolio? My guess was buying larger positions in bigger trends or going more income based. Always profiting off your great insight!
