Dale:

IMO, Biomatrix's Synvisc is no panacea to osteoarthritis. I've had a short position in BXM for several months and I'm looking for single digits in the future.

Two rheumatologists to whom I've spoken stopped using the product months ago because of mediocre response and also because they did not wish to carry expensive inventory in their office.

None of the medical literature that I've reviewed has impressed me with this one.

Some insurance companies are also balking at paying for the product.

Personally, I feel that BXM will follow the VVUS story and chart to the tee:

»»» both firms are essentially one trick ponies

»»» both firms have FDA approved products that work, but work poorly

»»» both MUSE and Synvisc are invasive Rx's

»»» the stocks of both firms popped significantly when FDA approved their manufacturing site and they brought production in house.

''''''''''

I feel that demand has been largely overestimated and that Biomatrix will now be saddled with excess capacity etc etc etc
