Animal Spirits Are A Late-Stage Event – “While the temptations are great, and the pressures strong, illusions in numbers are only that – ephemeral, and ultimately self-destructive.”

3 Large Cap Pharma Stocks to Buy Now
The healthcare sector has dominated headlines this year thanks to promises from the GOP and the Trump administration related to repealing and replacing Obamacare. With the Senate currently working on a reform bill that was passed by the House, healthcare is sure to remain in the news for some time.
While investors might think that the uncertainty of this reform would bring volatility into the sector, we’ve actually seen healthcare stocks have a pretty decent year so far. In fact, our overall “Medical” sector is up about 11.2% year-to-date, which outpaces the gains of the S&P 500.
Within this broad sector, one of the better performing industries has been what we call “Large Cap Pharmaceuticals.” This industry includes some of the world’s largest and most recognizable drug making companies.
You can check out the full industry data at the industry page here, but it’s certainly worth noting that this group of businesses currently sit in the top 10% of the Zacks Industry Rank and has returned nearly 13% on the year.
We know that our best stocks are going to come from the best industries, so it’s clear that investors should be considering Large Cap Pharma stocks right now. But which companies are standing out? Let’s take a closer look.
1. H. Lundbeck (HLUYY)
H. Lundbeck is an international pharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development, and sale of pharmaceuticals around the world. The company currently has products that target disorders like depression and anxiety, schizophrenia, insomnia, Huntington’s, epilepsies, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Lundbeck is a great example of a large cap stock with solid, consistent growth. Based on our current consensus estimates, we expect sales growth of 8.6% and EPS growth of 30% this year. Next-year estimates call for sales to increase 4.5% and earnings to expand by 9.3%. This growth outpaces many of its large cap rivals, but the stock is also fundamentally sound. Indeed, its “B” grade for VGM underscores this fact and pairs well with its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) position.
2. Bayer AG (BAYRY)
Best known for its flagship product, Bayer Aspirin, Bayer AG is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of healthcare products. From consumer health products like Aspirin and Aleve to pharmaceuticals and animal health treatments, this German giant does a little bit of everything.
With sales and EPS growth both expected to be around 9% this fiscal year, Bayer is posting the same type of consistent expansion that one desire from a blue chip company. But this stock is also a value investor’s dream. With a solid P/E ratio of 14.97, as well as better-than-industry-average P/B, P/CF, and Earnings Yield figures, this stock has clearly earned its “A” for Value in our Style Scores system.
3. Sanofi (SNY)
Sanofi is a French pharmaceutical company with a focus on the prescription market and a smaller batch of over-the-counter options. This European drug giant operated in seven therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular, central nervous system, diabetes, and other major treatments.
With a “B” grade for Value, Sanofi may not be as great of a value pick as Bayer, but it’s certainly not weak in this regard. And the company is growing consistently too, as our current consensus revenue projections call for sales growth 6% and 4% in the current and next fiscal year, respectively. What’s interesting is that Sanofi also has an “A” grade for Momentum, which is not a category we typically look at with these large cap stocks. However, the stock has pulled back over the past two weeks, and that could provide us a small window of opportunity to buy on the dip.

These Comedians Are Looking For The $840 Billion Missing Due To The Wage Gap
The gender pay gap is still a very real thing. According to data, women earn “90 percent as much as men at age 25 and about 55 percent as much at age 45.”
In total, this equals out to a huge difference in pay each year — about $840 billion. Comedians Tracy Soren and Jessie Jolles walked the streets of New York for Bustle trying to find that money.

Anderson Cooper Hopes Former Co-Host Kathy Griffin ‘Bounces Back’
Anderson Cooper may no longer be able to call Kathy Griffin a colleague, but he wishes her the best.
“She and I have been friends for a long time, and I want nothing but good things for her,” Cooper said during a staging of his live show, “An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen: Deep Talks and Shallow Tales,” in Phoenix on Friday night, AZ Central reported.
“I wish her well, and I hope she bounces back and keeps doing what she does best, which is make people laugh,” he added later.
Griffin and Cooper previously hosted CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage together, until she was fired for her depiction of President Donald Trump in a graphic photo shoot released late last month.
During an intense public backlash, Cooper said over Twitter that he was “appalled” by the imagery, which showed the comedian holding a prop styled as Trump’s bloodied head. Cooper added at the time, “It’s clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.”
The comedian, who was quickly dropped by sponsors and venues for the stunt, said that she had been “hurt” by her former co-host’s comment during a press conference earlier this month. But Cooper defended his criticism Friday, stating, “I think when you’re friends with somebody you can say that.”
In front of reporters, Griffin expressed her belief that Trump and his family were “trying to ruin my life” in their response to her gruesome photos, while standing by her original apology, issued quickly after response to the images went south.
For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in. It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.
— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) May 31, 2017
In Phoenix, Cooper clarified that he had “nothing to do” with the cable network’s decision to cut ties with the embattled comedian, but understands why it was made, he said, again noting that the photo shoot was “inappropriate.”
“People were assuming I was somehow responsible for this,” he said, referring to the images, “and I just felt I should point out that I actually think this is pretty important as somebody who works overseas. You know, journalists get beheaded, and this is not a joke.”
