After a good run in the past couple months, NVS looks poised to underperform the S&P. Not that I think its going to take a fall, more so that the S&P will be playing catchup for the next couple of months while NVS hangs around somewhat.

A reasonably safe bet. The management is finished destroying value through acquisitions: the last cash that remained to be squandered has been squandered last year, and during a debt crisis nobody will lend them money for the next purchase. That leaves us with a low PE, and with speculators assuming (mistakenly) that with no more empire building the "E" will finally accrue to them. This illusion will put a floor under the price, especially when the "E" is stable and speculators are desperately looking for stability.
