Hi All! Did you see Newsweek?

I just read the Newsweek cover article and and it sounds like the ED market is big! And we are waiting to see which drug 9 out of 10 urologists are going to recommend. Zonagen was mention as one of the top three possible market leaders. I just landed here on the site with no stocks yet but I want to ride the big kahuna ( I mean the wave not the you know. It's a little embarassing navigating in this peepee industry..). Or perhaps I should invest in a few, so I am now scoping things out.

I want to find out in all fairness and hypelessness, so perhaps you who are honest can help me out with some info. I'll give you whatever info I can that seems pertinant.

In all honesty Vasomax sounded better on the boxed list (in article) than Viagra..the big media favorite, and yet they say plainly "The third pill, Pfizer's Viagra, looks like the star of it's class."
Well they have a number of writers doing different portions. That quote was from Geoffrey Cowley and Adam Rogers. The other Graphics related box was by Adam Rogers and Bill Vouvoullas. So it is not exactly all one guy's opinion. The greater article is by John Leland and he says "The biggest hope-and media hype-is for Viagra.."

We also have the scientists. Dr. Harin Padma-Nathan is mentioned a couple of times, and Dr. Irwin Goldstein is given a good share of ink. I know that Irwin Goldstein is on the HVSF development, another ED drug lab, but he may be in other places. Because HVSF was so cheap and Dr. Irwin Goldstein was involved with them I had purchased some shares. It seemed at least there I had little to lose and much to gain. But I want to really get into this for the Big Bucks. If HVSF is going to get a good share of the market, well at its current price it could mean Really Really Big Bucks, but then again that is if..

Does Dr. Irwin Goldstein have a stake in this development as well? Or Dr. Padma-Nathan?

Here is a list of the other companies as I have come to understand so far..Viagra from Pfizer..Spontane from TAP Holdings (strange name for a co. although Spontane is a good name for market perception)..Senetek's invicorp or is it the other way aroud?..Palatin Technologies (PLTN) and Harvard Scientific (HVSF) both have something and Vivus has the MUSE (cute name, but Newsweek was kind of bashing it a little)..some one perhaps one of the ones listed above has something called Edex..okay okay nevermind Edex is another Caverject (the needle method)..That's all I know so far. It is a lot of companies to just sit on one and use the hope and hype method. Only after taking a good hard look (again no pun intended}, it seems like, one would be closer to knowing where the market is going to make you rich.

Another couple of Urologists in the article are..Dr. Leroy Nyberg Jr., and Dr. Tom Lue. Do either of them ring a bell?

I am asking these questions because I don't think that even if everyone on all of these threads came to the conclusion as to which one was going to be the legendary wave, the Microsoft of the male sexual renaissance, it would still have soom much stock-splitting room to grow that we could all just retire and start our own millionaire's township.

Of course the money may not fall exclusively on one but just in case it is only one, which don't you want to see if you can find it?

I am going to move on now. If you can help me out with the question of doctors, that will help me, and us set up a base to study what that info means.

I'll be back. Hopefully I can find the time to read every entry on every thread before it is too late, but first I am going to talk to the natives.

Good Luck All!

M. Alexander
