In the 24 years I have owned Amgen, I have seen a tiny research company in Thousand Oaks go from literally nothing to the largest biotech company in the world. Rathmann gets all the justified glory, Binder kept it going and Sharer brought it to its knees and has done a great job of making the company an also ran. My thoughts are, Kevin is the real chemist, he can change money into dirt. All this, of course, is just my opinion but, I can't come up with something that he offered as a compounding new big (net) money maker. That includes the Immunex purchase. (See the prospectus for details.)
"My thoughts are, Kevin is the real chemist, he can change money into dirt." You meant other peoples money, his own bill fold is doing nicely. One of the worst CEO's of all time history will show.
