Never met a women that didnt think this way.. The two or more conflicting parts anyway hence the more intelligent.

<<Althoug I consider holding two conflicting thoughts in the mind as a sign of
intelligence, I have to admit to amazement at your recent post.>>

Not sure what your point is. Are you saying that it is incomprehensible to hold long and short positions in a stock at different times and circumstances? Must we be wedded to one approach or the other forever? When I was a resident they said the disadvantage of being on call every other night was that you missed half the good cases (g). If you can only go long or short you miss half the chances to make money. Just to be clear, I still have no position in this stock. It's a snake waiting to bite those unwilling or unable (because they have a life) to watch it like a hawk.

<<Does the stock market determine the efficacy of drugs?>>

Again, I am not catching your drift. The market should reflect the efficacy, cost, competition and other factors affecting the general acceptance of a drug but, in the case of MUSE, the price of VVUS has often not borne any relationship to the drug (which I have said before is an OK drug for some people, but I don't know of anyone who prefers the mode of administration to a pill, assuming an equally effective oral alternative).
