Pfizer (+0.75%) is putting its consumer healthcare business on the trading block, either as a sale or spin-off. The drugmaker’s $3.4 billion unit features a medicine cabinet of popular productsyou’ll probably use at least once today, such as ChapStick, Centrum, and Advil. So what’s got Pfizer thinking about drug deals? Well, the $10 billion+ from a sale would give it ammo for a blockbuster acquisition(rumor on the street…it’s eyeing BMS). Plus, Pfizer is looking to zero in on its lucrative prescription drug business that has helped boost shares 7.5% YoY. This might be déjà vu all over again for Pfizer. It sold its consumer healthcare business to J&J …

It was a simple thing, and one that was one of my first. Not that good, but seeing it with someone else's name on it as if they were the creator, gives me an odd feeling about it. Not a Pleasant one. I named it 'As apples of gold in silver carvings, so is a word spoken at the right time for it.' Its from the Bible, Proverbs, about how our speech can affect us and those around us, if done in a pleasant way. The name at the bottom of my work says."

“Ten years on from the global financial crisis (and nine years into a U.S. expansion), economies remain at risk.” No, not our favorite quote…but an important one from the World Economic Forum (WEF). Every year, WEF gathers for its Global Competitiveness Report. Think of it as a stat sheet, ranking 137 economies around the world on 12 factors including quality of institutions, education, infrastructure, and innovation.

According to a report by CoinDesk, the U.K. will be enforcing a tax exemption for foreign investors purchasing crypto through local investment managers or brokers from Sunday. The tax exemption is part of U.K Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s plan to turn the country into a crypto hub. In an email to CoinDesk, the government's tax arm, the HM Revenue and Customs, stated “This exemption is an important factor in attracting global investors, meaning foreign investors won’t be brought into U.K. tax simply by appointing U.K.-based investment managers. To build upon the U.K.’s position as an investment management hub, this exemption has been extended to include crypto ass…
