Rising consumer stocks help market build on a big gain from last week; Pfizer, Allergan slip
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Stocks are inching higher Monday morning as the market builds on its biggest weekly gain of the year. Pfizer and Allergan slipped after announcing a deal to combine and create the largest drug company in the world.
KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average rose 14 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 17,837 as of 11:07 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index picked up four points, or 0.2 per cent, to 2,093. The Nasdaq composite added 16 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 5,121.
BIG DEAL: Pfizer, the maker of Viagra and Lipitor, plans to buy the Botox maker Allergan for about $155 billion, mostly in stock. That would be one of the largest corporate deals in history.
The New York-based company will gain new products that will help it counteract the expiration of the patents protecting some key drug. Pfizer will also relocate to Ireland as part of the deal, reducing its tax bill. The companies said last month that they were discussing a combination, and Allergan shares are up about 6 per cent since then…

Invest like an All-Star
– moneysense.ca
Welcome to one of our most impatiently awaited issues. Most stock rankings tell you about last year’s biggest gainers. Our long-time readers love the All-Star Stocks list because it uncovers buys ahead of time—when you can actually make decisions and share in any upside. Of course there are absolutely no guarantees, but these picks have now outperformed the broader market by three-and-a-half times over the past 11 years on average. It’s why we regularly field requests from readers imploring us to share the list before it goes to print. Sorry, no.
