Just being a devil's advocate but it seems as though people are thinking this way as of now. The share price of QLT is predicated on a certain cash flow stream for treatment way into the future. If something comes along in 2 years that affects that well the value of QLT shares drops. So even if Miravant is 2 years away 500,000 people, your number, can be treated with Visudyne by the specialists for the next 2 years but ongoing is not a certainty. And if the specialist is not paid by someone then most won't treat the penniless. Perhaps you can organise a charity to help pay the freight.

A couple more reiterations today. The price target may have been increased. I don't remember the prior targets.

Ian.

Ian It seems that some European governments are withholding payments for Visudyne treatment and sales are not rising as fast as forecast afterall. Is there also some question as to the efficacy of the product with the current people being treated and that 's also why the sales are not ramping up.
