Gary, Where did you read they moved one line of production? Common sense would have dictated to leave the old facility intact until the new plant is certified. This really makes no sense. They have gained nothing. RT

Gary, what press release are you reading? That info is not in either the DJ or Reuters or Business Wire releases.

You are CRAZY!!!!!!! 8 3/4, gimme a break! NEVER, will this go below the 12 1/16 it hit this morning. Look, the company will still earn well over $1 per share this year. That is a FACT! Next year we will only see even more growth. If this thing hits 8 3/4, then the DOW will have to hit 4000. Have any other crazy predictions? Ed

Read the PR again--this revenue shortfall is not just because of a one week Christmas shutdown, it is because they took 1 line or 25% of "machinery" out of present plant AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS QUARTER and moved it to the new plant to try to get it up and running. Gary, please don't throw stuff like this out without citing a source, or saying it's your interpretation, when no one can verify it. Same goes for your 8 3/4 low prediction. Why don't you share the technical explanation for that prediction, instead of cavalierly throwing that number into this thread after people who are long have lost thousands of dollars.

Gary, If you're looking for a low around 8-3/4 then you'd advise to sell one's shares now, at a huge loss? Or would you expect the stock to recover? Warning: This is the stock that was supposed to make up for my losses in LIPO, so no one should tell me to buy another stock to make up for these losses. Linda

Gary, <<Read the PR again--this revenue shortfall is not just because of a one week Christmas shutdown, it is because they took 1 line or 25% of "machinery" out of present plant AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS QUARTER and moved it to the new plant to try to get it up and running. They have known for at least 3 months what this would do to production--and not a whisper til now?>> Gary, if this is true, it is an excellent insight and probably explains the drop from 40 to 21. I wouldn't be surprised if certain people got a hold of the whisper. A 20 point drop from 40 to 20 based on Viagra's early approval seemed far fetched. Viagra has been a known factor for a long time.
