Research Alert, Johnson & Johnson
Current Recommendation: Hold tenderly
Anal-yst Report: We just love a johnson, two is better making Johnson & Johnson a form hold at this time. We especially like their committment to oral products and lotions. Splenda, a non-caloric sugar substitute allows consumers to keep their bodies lean, tight, fit and sexy. The company also makes Mylanta and Pepcid which is often used to treat an upset stomach stemming from a breakup or simply swallowing too much.

Remember that, it was a democrat that mentioned this firm to the world.
Why, should it be a big (boy) buy?
Johnson and Johnson announced today a joint lawsuit filed against them by PETA and ACT UP. Details of the suit were not released however the company believes the suit may be related to the companies policy of testing hair shampoos on gerbels. Industry watchers believe that the groups involved in the suit are upset at the deaths of gerbels in these clinical trials and fear that they may become an endangered species.

Yea, he really got creamed when the FDA yanked some products off the shelves.
