Wolf, Mark

I was just kidding about the charts looking good. XW followed by a backwards D is DMX upside down.

I really don't think it's worth guessing where the bottom is. I think next week's action will have less to do with the company than with how much more margin there is to unwind out there and how many mutual funds are being swamped with redemptions and switches out of tech. Looking a year out, I'm pretty sure that buying at the current price will give someone the opportunity to double their money somewhere along the way. If I was going to buy though, I would put in a series of limit orders at successively lower prices to try and pick up some of the forced selling. I'm doing this with another stock I hold. I can't do it with more due to limited cash. I'm not buying more DMX because I've decided that it is too large a percentage of my portfolio.

Dave

Here's my E-mail to Peter Block yesterday and his response. He must have his E-mail forwarded to his home. The time on the response is 23:46.

Hi Dave,

Let me deal with your questions in order:

We will announce when final approval of PENNSAID(r) has been received
anywhere, including the UK. We do not believe it will be much longer before
everything is in order with the British which will then lead to other
European regulatory submissions.

We have also been continuing our work with the FDA. Again, as soon as
there is something formally communicated from them, we will also announce
that. In working with McNeil Consumer Healthcare (J&J), their advice is
that we not comment on ongoing developments with the FDA but instead only
report on formal developments. Given their experience in dealing with the
FDA, we think it is good advice.

The data presented at the Salvage Therapy Conference in Chicago on WF10 was
strictly related to safety. Earlier studies with WF10 have certainly
suggested efficacy, but because the blinding has not been broken on this
trial, it is unknown at this point what those results would be. I don't
think there is an "expected" number of SAEs or deaths that can be used as a
benchmark other than to quote the abstract where it indicates that patients
with CD4 counts below 50 are at great risk. The timing of the release of
any efficacy data is difficult to predict as there are a number of variables
at play. Certainly, the randomisation of the remaining patients and a
follow-up review of those patients is a likely step before any final
analysis can be presented.

Sincerely,

Peter Block
Director, Corporate Communications
