The best companies bare all.

- Abstract
The article offers guidelines for investors checking the performance of a pharmaceutical company through its Web site. A satisfactory company Web site should identify drugs and indications, trial status, trial results, and any shared drug ownership. Without this information, it is impossible to understand market size, competition, chances of success, and investor share of the wealth, all of which help an investor balance investments and decide to buy or sell. The biggest flaw in company Web site is the failure to identify partners clearly and to provide the terms. Investors should see clearly not only the drug and indication and its status, but also the partner and the arrangement.
