  • LLY
    Lilly Eli Co
  • $35.20
  • +1.21%
  • $35.03

“Oh, doctor! Eli Lilly (LLY) blows up and it goes higher. You would think it is a steel company! Now, here's what I know about Eli Lilly (besides the fact that its bountiful dividend can be covered easily out of those earnings): It has a fabulous chart, and in an endlessly technically driven market, that means upside. Last weekend I bumped into my old friend Justin Mamis, the godfather of technicians and a teacher of our own esteemed Helene Meisler. We had the following discussion. It went like this: "Hi Justin." "Hi Jim, the pharmas have bottomed. Lilly is rock-solid and done going down." So what do I do? Like a moron, I look at the fundamentals, I know they are about to talk, I sense the numbers are too high -- that's the case for almost all big pharma -- I know that stocks get hammered when they cut numbers, and I know to stay away. Oops! Now, I know people are willing to believe that Texas Instruments (TXN) and National Semi (NSM) and Broadcom (BRCM) have bottomed even though there is nothing good about to happen to those. I don't get that. But when I scan what Lilly's saying, I do get the sense that, at last, the worst is over (although I don't like Tom Daschle as my drug czar, as he might be willing to use the government's buying power to hold down the cost of Lilly's drugs to Medicare). My point: I like a bottom where there is a base and where there is a reason -- that's what we are getting with LLY. I don't like a "bottom" where numbers aren't low enough and the prospects are for more bleak numbers. And I wish I had just listened to Justin without doing homework!”

People owning LLY also tend to own: CCLXCVSGOOGGSHDJNJ
