Merck Executive VP (For MMD) Nets $4.2 Million -- Via His Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan's Option Sales (Cashless)

Mr. Deese is a long tenured high ranking executive officer at Merck -- and we should infer almost nothing from his pre-arranged stock trading plan's actions -- about Merck's prospects.

Still, taking $4.2 million out of one's invested total (in Merck) -- while leaving what is essentially the other half -- or, another $5 million or so. . . may signal preparations for a future retirement party. Or it may mean. . . nothing.

But here is his filing, just the same.

Be kind to one another.
