I've already been rags to riches to rags again so it's not too hard. In fact it is the first gain I have had since September. I've been in lots of great stocks..definitely no losers but have run across timing incidents as I was trying to day trade in Fall. I finally promised myself that I was going to give up the philosophy of amateur day-trading and I think that I am definitely in no danger at this point of making such an error again. Thank you for all of your kind support, though. I am very happy about HVSF and if this is any indication I may still be getting in at the basement of a serious ED market player. I am doubly happy for all of you who have had the chance (and the guts) to get very very cheap shares of HVSF. After losing from $9, and thereabouts, you definitely deserve to get some for very cheap too! Of course, I am speaking in assumptions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Cheers, M. Alexander

I am thinking about buying into this stock and have been reading through this thread for information. Can anyone tell me why Tom Waite seemed to disappear from HVSF last year and then recently reappear as the new CEO and president? I'm concerned that he may have been brought back in to more or less hype the stock via the recent press releases we've seen. What is his reputation in the investment community? Also, does anyone know how long Phase II testing should take to complete once started? Thanks in advance for any info, JP

ALRIGHT !!!!!! This is EXACTLY the kind of jump start we've been waiting for. Things are REALLY going to happen now. NOT !!!!! I hate to be the one to rain on your parade, folks, but this is pure stock manipulation. Up over 200% today on no news!!!! Right!!! This type of action happens everyday in lots of stocks. NOT!!!! Does ANYONE know why it jumped up today? It was manipulated. WATCH OUT! Yesterday's release of a new "breakthru" is all hogwash. They've known their method did not require refrigeration all along. It was disclosed in a lot of their earlier press releases. Now they pump it out like it's a new discovery. Hell, that was one of their "big" advantages last year. If you don't believe me, call the company. They have not even begun phase II of FDA clinical trials. Didn't they say last year, Phase II would commence immediately after the urological conference down in New Orleans? Yes, they did. They still have yet to begin Phase II. Phase II and III will probably take 9-12 months to complete, then they have to wait for FDA approval. The pills for erectile dysfunction go to market in April, OF THIS YEAR !!! How much of a head start will they have over HVSF? A LOT!! This is clearly a pump and dump. It is an attempt to drum up interest in what is otherwise a dead story. Those of you who have made some quick money, I advise to watch this very closely tomorrow and Friday. It will fall as fast as it rose. Do NOT be the last one holding the bag. Remember, I was the one who advised to sell when it was at $6.50, right before the bottom fell out. I know this company better than anyone on this thread. GP
