It appears that the strong sell was the right call. The stock is falling like a rock in huge bull market. New lows again today - down to 8 5/8.

Anecdotal information from Yahoo IPIC bulletin board posted this morning.................(note- my computer is cutting off the first letter of some of the words which I have copy and pasted) <<I am an obesity specialist who had treated close to 200 patients with anoretics drugs. I have always hated to use combination drugs for therapy for any clinical conditions. Therefore, I used redux alone for well over 95% of my patients. The other 5% had specifically requested use of phen-fen. In my population of 190 patients using redux alone, I have not had a single patient who develope a new cardiac murmur. (My patients had been taking redux from 1-8 months.) No patient had developed any shortness of breath, chest pain, or edema. I have done 15 echos on these patients, and everybody had normal heart valves. I have spoken to various cardiologists and bariatricians, and none of them are seeing any valvular pathology either. I have also spoken to Interneuron, and they are reporting no valvular problems as well. They are also stating that their own trial is progressing very well, as they have recruited more sites and more patients than they had originally planned for. Apparently, they are seeing no valve problems either!!! I hope this helps you all.>>
