<<I'm just curious as to how you came to the conclusion that Phentolamine pills are effective for MED.>>

Now, you know it's not fair to answer a question with a question- didn't you learn that in debate school? :-)

My argument is simple. I'm basing my judgment on what I've read about their trials, particularly the Phase III managed by Pharmco. I'm assuming there has been no massive fraud on their part (Pharmco)and that results are as reported. Indeed, there have been no peer reviewed papers published, but that is common practice at this point of development, frustrating though it may be. But I also don't think PFE is engaged in massive fraud with Viagra even though they also have not published. I think all this stuff about alleged fraud is simply missing the important bearish questions. Assume the data is correct- we then know that the reported data is statistically significant. The real bear argument ought to revolve around the issue of whether this statistical difference is gonna be important clinically- forget about this other ludicrous conspiracy crap. Asensio's releases read like they're page one of the National Enquirer, "FRAUD!", and it's as if this thread is dominated by that paper's columnists. Then again, I admit that I may be mistaken and that there is a remote possibility that you may be on to something- but I don't see it yet.

Now how 'bout answering my question? :-)

Don't forget about me and my question, Bill.
Some gentle prodding. :-)

Anaxagoras

PS- I'm trying to sell at $17 3/4 this morning. Looks too much like a short squeeze, i.e. temporary- the volume isn't there, could be wrong- I think it will come back down to the 16-ish area short term where I would be a buyer again. Still bullish.

PPS- trade just went through. Happy as a clam. Ready for that short. Hoping I won't regret the Zona sell.
