zurdo, Re: " What the hell is wrong with PFE???_"
" WLA and other pharms seem to be recovering, but PFE has become a laggard, sinking lower...Is something happening we don't know about??? The market has been OK the last 2 days.. ".

=======================================================
Here what is going on zurdo, all IMHO of course:

Investors " in the know ", are beginning to put together a certain unfavorable picture:

1)Viagra is too expensive:
a) the cost of the drug itself is the least consideration.
b) more important is the cost of diagnosing, treating and follow up
of coronary artery disease ( CAD ) needed " to make Viagra safe
" as per drug insert. CAD is the No 1 killer in Western World.

2) Thus, Insurance companies and Governments won't cover it; -->
lower sales than expected.

3) litigation to physicians, Insurances/HMOs.

4) Pfizer itself is open to direct litigation because it's Phase III
trials were designed to obscure the true dangers of the drug: only
20 patients taking Nitroglycerin were allowed in the study out of
a total of 4000 ( 0.5 % ): this is not representative of the No of
patients either taking or needing to take Nitro in the ED
population. The true figure is probably anywhere from 10 to 20 %
IMHO. Thus a lot of patients will be alleged in court, " thought
the drug was safe " ,took it and proceeded to die or have a heart
attack or stroke.

5) sales rate of growth is decreasing in the US.

6) we are at 39 deaths in only 4 months. ( plus another ~ 70
" suspected " ).

Join the dots............

TA

I will elaborate further on the above post ( and ensuing discussion ) in the future. Been too busy lately to get on the web.
