A lot of the pharmaceutical companies are offering their medicines now at little to no cost directly to the patients exactly for this reason.  Find out who the manufacturer is for the drug and find out if you are a candidate for this program before you go across borders to get your meds.

it is so different state by state that it is hard to give any info. some states regulate more than others. for example in Oregon you are controlled by the state as to pricing. no real competition, high prices.

There are numerous ways to do cost basis.  The way that you are referrring to is the FIFO method, which is fine.  You might pay a bit more if the stock went up since your cost basis for the original shares is lower, but this would be offset by the long-term treatment.\n\nAs long as you keep track of which shares went where with the dates and the rest of the documentation, you're free to use that method.

personally I would not want to hold PFE,  on just high level evaluation it has a low relative strength of 23 and has been sitting well below its moving averages.  They don't show any great performance for key ratios when compared to competitors.  critical numbers have been declining over the past Q's.  I would wait for better valuations.  One reason to buy a pharma company is for their product development pipeline.  I didn't have the time to check that however.  They are also having to defend the Lipitor and spending money on acquisitions that may take time to become integrated and profitable.\n\nhttp://clearstation.etrade.com/cgi-bin/details?Symbol=pfe&Refer=http://clearstation.etrade.com/\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=PFE\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=PFE

A lot of the phamacys have a minimum pricing that they must charge. At CVS it is currently 10.99, Walgreens 11.99 etc. \n\nIt will not matter how many pills that you get, it will be the minimum price until the actual cost of the drug exceeds the minimum charged.

They keep their steady 10% profit margins that they've been doing for the last 20 years.\n\nSo, if the supplier say 10, you charge 11.  You make 1.\n\nIf the supplier charges 100, you charge 110.  You make 10.  Not that hard.\n\nSkim over their annual reports for the last years that you care about.  Look at the sales, COGS, gross margins, net margins to get an idea of how the fluctuations have been and compare that to the closest future price of crude oil.

Buyers determine the price. If someone pays it then that is the price.

It depends where your coin is from. If it is from the United States, try www.pcgs.com. They have a pricing guide, updated daily, and information to help you determine which coin you have. Good luck!

It is difficult to gage what the Dems will do.  They ran the show in Congress for 30 years prior to 1994.  When  Republicans have attempted to address problems with National Heathcare, the Dems have filibustered the bills.  I don't believe enough people are aware that the United States and the States combined Healthcare budgets are a larger amount per capita than many fully socialized Countries.  Many Pharma companies are concerned about the United States seizing control of their pricing authority because several Nations use our pricing in their equation.  Canada pays the average price between the U.S. (highest) and Italy (lowest).  I believe there is a place for the Government to negotiate pricing for those on Public assistance, but I think the real culprits are countries who leverage their prices against us, thus shifting the burden on this country.  (i.e. I need to make 2 cents on a cup of lemonade, Giovanni will only pay 1 cent, so I have to charge Joe 3 cents)    If the U.S. approaches the problem by trying to limit the return on investment to Pharma Co.s, then their stockholders will flee with their money and leave little for investment.  This was the problem during the "Dot Com" boom, where the failure was that the President appointed FEC Chairman didn't investigate these hollow companies, and allowed them to lure away and squander investment dollars.  Many of the scandals we now know of were attempts to keep the investors happy, but it was impossible for real companies to compete with fake ones.  Pharma stocks plummeted, and with a new President's FEC Chairman, many are now going to jail.  If we wrongly target Pharma as the problem, they will be forced to do "creative bookkeeping" just to keep investors interested, just like the real companies all did in the "Dot Com" thing.

They have different prices.  Some do a flat rate, some take a percentage of investments.  Ask each one their price.

The Market determines the price of a traded option.  But you can get an idea of what factors make up option pricing by researching the Black & Scholes option model.  It's very complicated because it takes into account: price of the underlying stock, the option strike price, the interest rate, the life of the option, the volatility of the stock, and other things.
