Pfizer: Weight Loss Bargain?

I'm not a financial expert, but I stick to target date funds and S&P 500 index funds. I never try to pick individual stocks.

Something I don't quite understand is how a company like Amgen can be valued so low, then get bought out at a premium, and suddenly Pfizer's value increases. Shouldn't Amgen have been valued higher to begin with if its prospects were so good? When Pfizer buys Amgen does Pfizer immediately increase in value? I know combining with a larger company can help with trials, marketing, and production, but the initial valuation still confuses me. I follow Jack Bogle's investment advice; he made index funds accessible to everyone, creating Vanguard Group.

Also, I'm curious why Pfizer halted its Phase 3 trial for a weight loss drug due to slightly elevated liver enzymes in just one person. I think that there must have been more concerns than just that one individual; perhaps more serious liver damage or other bad side effects? Just my thoughts.
 
Pfizer doesn't have a good track record with acquisitions. They made a mistake by being cheap and passing on Viking, especially considering the market's overreaction and misinterpretation of their recent oral data, in my opinion.
 
The focus on higher quality makes sense. The GLP-1s help regulate appetite and cravings, so people are less likely to binge on junk and more likely to savor smaller portions of better food. Lindt reported this is a growing trend.
 
On a completely different note, be careful with compounded hormones. I saw a report that the FDA-funded study on them was possibly biased. It's something to keep in the back of your mind.
 
The dysesthesia jump from nine to twelve mg is rough, eight-point-eight percent to twenty-point-nine percent. Nausea and vomiting lines up with sema and tirz. Weight loss results are solid plus the osteoarthritis help is exciting. Time to stock up like a peptide dragon.
 
Anecdotal but a friend reached goal on just 5mg Tirz then quit completely. Really happy. Myself I have to keep titrating because I hit plateaus. Some are resistant, some are easy keepers. Not helpful but depends on the person. If you lost 10 in week one at 2.5mg you're lucky.
 
Thanks, definitely checking that out. Did an experiment today—skipped my Adderall to see if I was plaçeèboing myself. Nope, totally different without it, wears off in 4 hours. Makes sense people use semax when they can't get ADHD meds. Same BAC dilution and doses?
