Torben,

I don't think saturation for this kind of product can be reached all that quickly.

What they actually said makes even less sense. That adoption was slower than investors would expect; then later that the market was ESSENTIALLY saturated in 3Q99; but immediately after that they expect to see eventual universal acceptance of these products.

How does slow adoption lead to quick saturation? If they want to say that sales growth will be slower than they would like to see, that's their opinion and they're entitled to it. Trying to make it sound more powerful than that is either puffery or malice.

Second, there's Perceptin and the other ADCONs and they're given *zero* value by implication! Ok, Perceptin isn't on the market, but it should be given some potential value and so should the other ADCONs.

Unfortunately IMHO that's the fate of cos. once they get a major product launched. They're now in the realm of P/Es (or at least P/Rs) and all the wonderful multiples for future products get washed out by those based on sales growth.

How's Venus this morning?
