I don't know if I agree that buying or staying with Merck is a good idea. I owned some, but sold on the bad news (not immediately). I'm basically a buy and hold guy, so it takes something for me to sell. But my gut tells me that it will be years before Merck knows what Vioxx is going to cost them, meanwhile that money can be put to better use in more productive stocks. You can't know everything, but you do know that Merch has no idea of what the cost of this will be in lawsuits, lost productive time, attorney fees, etc. Best of luck.
