barrons3	Pete Najarian has spotted some unusual options activity. He speculates that call buying in Vertex Pharma (VRTX) could mean it’s a takeover target -- with JNJ (JNJ) rumored to be sniffing around.	Love	April 29, 2009
barrons3	Takeover targets are wide ranging and include Biogen [BIIB], Amylin (AMLN), OSI Pharma [OSIP], and Vertex Pharma [VRTX], says Huckman.	Love	January 07, 2009

barrons3	Pfizer (PFE) and Schering-Plough (SGP) continue to invest in R&D, but have battered shares, so they outrank Wyeth (WYE). Regeneron Pharmaceutical (REGN) rates higher than more richly valued biotechs like Amgen (AMGN) or Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). The idea here is inspired by the value-investing tradition: Buy a dollar of research for fifty cents.	Love	September 27, 2008
barrons2	Not all of the focus is on products already in the market, however. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX), another company that some investors view as an eventual takeover candidate, is developing Telaprevir, a substance that promises to reduce the time needed to treat hepatitis-C, a potentially fatal liver ailment. Telaprevir is currently in stage III testing, the last phase of the clinical- trial process. Vertex has worked with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) in developing that drug.	Love	August 16, 2008
barrons2	Market Perform - Price 32.96 on June 10 by Rodman & Renshaw Telaprevir [looks like] the most promising therapy for hepatitis-C in development....With headline risk in next six to nine months from competitors' [advance], we believe VRTX shares will perform in line with biotech indexes. Reiterate our Market Perform. Market cap: $4.6 billion.	Love	June 14, 2008
