Pfizer wants very happy shareholders, I'm sure.

Happy shareholders until they can buy back it's shares, that is!

Also in 2014 the company, currently headquartered in New York, spent $8.4 billion on research and development, $14.1 billion on sales, informational and administrative costs, including advertising, and nearly $12 billion to buy back its shares and pay dividends to shareholders.

This kind of thing will go on and on and on. Until.....until people stop paying attention to what their candidates wear, what they said in a half sentence 40 years ago or to nasty sniping. Voters have to really pay attention to what goes on and not just sit and watch. The problem is that news is diversion for people....it is really tough to get truth or to get people to care about facts. Sometimes I think we are the spectators at Roman games of gladiators.

You know the executives and boards are big shareholders.
Keep the shareholders very happy and bloated.
