Herm, Any thoughts on why the jump in VVUS within an hour after Viagra's FDA approval? Live Long & Prosper, 4-Bob

Herm, HELP!! I bought Infocus systems at 14.50 a few weeks ago. Today it is down about 5 pts. OUCH! Should I sell some in the money calls to try to repair the damage? What do you think. I think I'm going to have a nervous breakdown(just kidding). I really do like this company & their product, but It sure fell fast on bad news. This had sure put a damper on the VVUS news for me. One goes up One goes down. Go figure.

Herm - do you or anyone else on the thread use VECTORVEST? How valid are their prognostications? It sounds good. Does anyone know how much it costs after the five week trial period? What do you get in the service that you don't from the free on-line 3-a-day screener? THANKS!

Now, we are starting to get the real scop on the oral pill wonder drug. As many as 30 million American men have varying degrees of erectile dysfunction. In 21 trials of 4,500 men, 59 percent said Viagra helped them for impotence with physiological causes of dysfunction. Eighty-one percent of men with psychological impotence were helped. Side-effects included headache, flushing and nausea. Men taking nitroglycerin should not use Viagra. ''The incidence (of side-effects) was about 20-30 percent, but few of the men dropped out,'' said Barada, who tested Viagra. ''If you have a side-effect you have to decide the benefit's worth it.''
