Since PFE was downgraded today maybe a little of that money is going into Vivus. Craig

Anybody read the Viagra article today in the WSJ. It mentioned all the companies in the "sexual performance" market jumping on the "coattail" effect. They mentioned products from herbal potions to Zonagen, but no mention of our beloved Muse. I certainly hope VVUS is getting the word out to doctors, family physicians and urologists. They are people that will make or brake VVUS. Because of PFE, people are flocking to seek treatment, I just hope their doctor knows all the alternatives. A doctor can have quite an impact on a patient. With a little encouragement, a patient who may have been previously disinclined to put a pellet into his penis, might be persuaded to give it a try. I think the fear of the process is much worse than the actual process and the doctors need to be educating the patients of this matter. I know that is the plan, I just hope they are implementing, and doing so with vigor. Now is the time to catch the spillover. Nice action today. I was a little nervous about our last pop. A CR upgrade doesn't justify 6 points. I thought it might come right back down, but seeing today's action gives me a little confidence in the price support at the mid 10 level.
