I'm still waiting for the answer to my questions, but since you insist on answering a question with a question, I will give you more respect than you apparantly are willing to give me. You see, we on this thread who have been here a long, long time (starting when the stock was $4 @ share) have not dealt with misinformation. It has been our good fortune to have been exposed to a management that has never promised the moon, just an honest attempt at potentially producing a money making drug in the ED field. We have never been hyped, lied to, promoted, etc. Everything this company has ever said they would do they have delivered. It was not hype that drove this stock to 40's. It was an evolution of events, very real, that made investors believe in the speculative potential of a new biotech company. This obviously was one of the reasons that Ross Perot and the Bentson family invested their money in this company. Regardless what you think of Perot's politics, even you must admit that the man is rather good at running and investing his money and talents in corporate America. You've never seen me get excited about "burps" or "short squeezes" or any other esoteric exclamations of any kind. No, this is not the holy grail. It's a specualtive play in a potentially big business industry. As for serious questions having been raised about the company's product, track record and management, it seems to me that the only people who have raised these questions are you, Asensio, and a few of your other short selling cohorts. But hey, that's OK! It's a free country (thank god) and maybe that's what's made this country so great. You're entitled to your opinion, back your opinion with your money, and do anything else you like to enhance your investment. If you chose to spread or expound lies you believe to be true, so be it. You have that right. BUT SO DO WE! Don't deny us the same rights you have. As for your comment about buying into a company whose price has plummeted 50%, I suggest you check out the history of a little gem that's made a lot of noise in recent years called Amgen. See what happened to that stock in it's early beginnings. Look familiar? You must know more about me than I do about you. You're right! I do have a truck...and it has a bumper sticker that reads, "My Other car IS a Ferrari." I wish you luck with your position. I think you may need it. ClaudB
