MAJOR PAPERS:

Mining companies BHP Billiton Limited (NYSE: BHP) and Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE: RTP) are not only competing over iron-ore customers, but they are not competing for investors as well, according to the Wall Street Journal's "Heard on the Street." BHP says 60% of their investors also own Rio shares; Rio puts the figure at 50%.
Prices for the top 50 branded drugs increased an average of 6.73% in 2006 and 7.82% last year at wholesale, according to market research firm Delta Marketing Dynamics. Often targeted by politicians, pharmaceutical companies are undeterred, the Wall Street Journal reported.
