Acquisitions and the Pharma industry
The Pharmaceutical industry has always been ruled by a selected number of ‘kings’, but now things are changing. New entrants are severely shaking their R & D models. Survival strategy - Instead of competing with them in research & development, the top 20 pharmaceutical companies are outsourcing the legwork to the new-borns. Not only to save around $7.5 billion annually (pharmaceutical industry) on an average, but also to save on the opportunity cost of generics replicating their formulas and selling products at huge discounts. CytoDyn (CYDY) incorporated in 2003, has also come to the table with a revolutionary breakthrough: Cytolin. They claim it to be the only solution for HIV/AIDS (immune system therapy); and to prove it, studies of the drug will be designed and conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital. Past results of drug test on ten HIV infected subjects (carried out by company itself) were clearly evident of its efficacy and performance. But, once it gets through the study of Massachusetts General, more hype is expected, making it one of the hottest — yet one of the most classified — stocks in the biotech market.What are your opinions regarding investment in such emerging pharmaceutical companies? Comments, ideas or stock pick suggestions are welcome.http://blog.insidecytolin.com/?p=270

It think, this is a good decision made by them since they need to also network with even newborn companies in order to produce more medicines to cure diseases. I have been personally doing custom term papers and custom research papers on topics about large companies dominating the pharmaceutical industry.
Pharmaceutical companies are of course in demand anywhere in the world most especially nowadays that many disease cases happening. For me, the more Pharma companies will be merrier because it implies that many medicines will be produce in order to cure diseases. And not only that, of course there's higher possibility to produce effective medicine. It is important that there should be enough supply of medicines in order to prevent numerous amount of sick people. And if there is less number of ill people, it means that it is possible that we can attain progress and avoid payday loans that we usually get when we are in emergency expense.
