<<Wouldn't the Australian and European approvals make the
stock run (take off like a rocket >50) on the short term? Anyone else have any
ideas. >>

European approval probably would if officially announced, or if proclaimed by a respected analyst with a big investment company, instead of just rumored on the internet. I figure that a one quarter (calendar) advance in the timing of European approval would be worth roughly a dollar in the stock price. And an announcement today would be about one quarter ahead of the expected approval date. Approval in the EU seems certain, but the timing is not. IMO bureaucrats need to be able to kill off their fellow citizens to feel important, and delayed approval gives them a chance to do so without penalty.

Izzy: My sense is that all these things are already reflected in the price and prettly well expected. It will take some kind of serious increase in earnings estimates, some kind of unexpected break through, or some kind of additional business opportunity, to start this baby up again.
