Dale,

CCSI was a joke from day one but I dare not short it in a manipulated market.

The only thing to look at with CCSI was its ability to generate significant income on their bilirubin tests and it just ain't there. Sure they might make a few bucks but nothing significant.

On the other hand you must give Vivus some credit. With no experience in manufacturing and marketing they were able to have the number one urological drug in the US last year which in the Viagra wake seems to be all but forgotton.

We will see just how well Vivus' income is over the next 6 months. Foreign doctors are not under the pressure by HMOS to be "Cost efficient" doctors.
