A whole bunch of deals were announced today, with the US pharmaceutical industry witnessing another frenzied round of consolidation.
Indeed, Teva Pharmaceuticals is purchasing Auspex for around $3.5 billion, United Health Group is buying Catamaran Corp for $13.2 billion and Horizon Pharma has agreed to buy Hyperion Therapeutics for $866 million.
And I'm sure it won't be long before we see further deals in the sector, such as the potential multi-billion takeover of BioMarin Pharmaceutical, the maker of treatments for rare genetic diseases. See the link to last week's story on Betaville for further background on this situation:

Elsewhere, Bloomberg reported this evening that FTSE 100-listed copper mining giant Antofagasta is in merger talks with Canada's Teck Resources. Here is a link to the Bloomberg piece:

However, the tale is being vehemently denied by both companies, so perhaps it isn't a true merger Monday after all...
Hello Everyone I am Daniel Steve from Texas, USA. I will like to share the goodness of God in my life after so many months of trying to get a loan on the internet and was been scammed so i became restless and desperate in getting a loan from a legit lender online. But as God would have it, i saw a comment from a friend called William Ken and he talked about this legit loan company where he got his loan fast and easy without any stress so he introduced me to a man called Mr Mason Diego who controls a firm called Diego Loan Company, So i applied for a loan sum of ($170,000.00USD) with low interest rate of 2%, so the loan was approved and deposited into my bank account in less than 48hrs, that was how i was able to get back on my feet to keep my broken business running and also to pay off my bills so i am advising everyone of you who is interested in getting a loan without collateral, no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans/ schedule, to please contact Mr Mason Diego. You can contact him through his email: diegoloancompany@yahoo.com
