  So far, it's two down and one to go for pharmacy earning reports. With Rite Aid's and Walgreen's impressive quarter, you have to like CVS' (NYSE: CVS  ) chances of also delivering a strong report.

  Instead, Pfizer is fighting against counterfeit medications, often sold on the Internet, which may not even contain the active drug. To battle back, the pharma is entering their realm, selling Viagra direct to consumers through its website. Pfizer won't fill the orders directly; they'll go through CVS Caremark's (NYSE: CVS  ) mail-order pharmacy, which will presumably get a cut of the sales.
