Roger, It was announced today, that through April 17th, PFE's Viagra prescriptions were being written at the rate of 113,000 per week. A report last weekend (unconfirmed), claimed that over 70,000 'scripts were written last Friday, 4/24 alone. The "average" new drug normally is prescribed about 2,000 times a week in comparison. At ~$10.00 a copy, the big issue is becoming - how will the insurance companies honor the features of their respective policies. Cigna has announced they will honor 6 pills a month, but other Ins. cos. haven't hammered out the details of their plans regarding Viagra as yet. Some insurers are going to require proof of a "pre-existing condition" before honoring claims. I guess I'd best leave that one alone. :) Wiley, - posting to 10 threads will not make CSCO's price go up or down. FWIW, I'll bet they surprise to the upside.

Roger, This was posted on the KTEL thread and thought you might be interested in it: exchange2000.com This might explain why they are able to supply the shorts with all these stocks that other brokerage firms have trouble finding! Please let me know what you think? Hank
