Jim, "Whats the "cross sign" ? Are you talking about Vivus exceeding Zona's price? ". Yes. Zona for reasons not completely clear to me has tended to track Vivus. I have a stong feeling that the Zona stock is being manipulated by the a few institutions who hold a large position. I think that they are passing the stock to each other, buying and selling and manipulating the price, ( my OPINION only; I can't prove it !!! ). However as time goes buy it will become more and more apparent that the Vasomax is dead in the water .I believe also that the lawsuit will likely deplete Zona's cash .These two events will eventually sink Zona stock.Mind you this is my opinion only; I cant prove it so take it for what it's worth.I would encourage however anybody that wants to invest in Zona to follow their thread closely to get an idea of how things are going before buying it. Zona/ Phentolamine/ Vasomax is a generic product for 40 years.There is no patent tha t will stand. It is a dangerous drug used orally 25 years ago for hypertension but abandoned because of sideffects. TA
