RT, Yep, VVUS is definately worth more than $9 a share. VLAD's post made a great point about the price. Long and holding is the way on VVUS..whether to the elusive 80 or 20. <<If EyeDr.Mike is correct and the FDA inspects the plant this week we should be FDA certified within 45 days.>> I trust what Eyedrmike says. Good point about PACO. Maybe Leland and his "well oiled" staff will read this thread and pick up some hints! Your points made good sense to me. Eighteen months doesn't seem so long to "max out a plant" and open another in Ireland. I can wait. Has anyone talked to Nina lately...maybe she can shed some light on our questions. Keeping the ole chin up! (with a 2 x 4!) E'Lane

Keep both plants going....just move what is cheaper to the new plant. The old plant can produce 1.6 mill units a qtr (600,000 * 3 production lines)....assuming the 8 additional production lines at the new plant ramp-up with the same capacity 600,000 units a month...that's only 4.8 mill units a qtr. UK sales in the last 4 1/2 weeks were $1.9 mill dollars @~$7.00 a dose to Astra that's 300,000 units ...1/2 a production line alone. Any estimates as to the size the UK will grow in qtr 2??? How about 600,000 units a month?? Now add Brazil, Argentina, S. Korea, Switzerland. and a growing ED market in the USA. Get a few more countries approved in qtr 2 and 3 and you'll need both plants producing....don't want to be caught short again. How big a market is China? Japan? etc,etc......
