I'm back. 1350 miles at 80mph and I see my dell computer took all the curves and bumps with no mechanical failures. Few points I'd like to cover: Did anybody see the CBS evening news on Friday with the segment on Viagra? I guess we finally got a dose of reality. For those who didn't see it, the segment discussed the negatives of Viagra. They interviewed a guy (his face was shadowed) who said he had great expectations for Viagra but said it didn't work and the side effects were intolerable. They also had a guy on who was gloating and bragging how great it worked for him--low and behold it is the same guy in the 20/20 segment who was in the initial clinical study done by Pfizer (Yes TA your friend with the earring--seems like he's the poster child for Viagra cause it's the third time I've seen him on TV boasting about Viagra. Can't they maybe find a few other different guys to interview and tell us about how wonderful Viagra is?). Hey Alien why the sudden gloomy attitude? Sounds like everyone is looking Vivus stock price tick for tick and now the script data week by week. I think we need to give the script data more than 2 to 3 weeks to know what's really going down. Try 2 to 3 months if you catch my drift. BTW alien who told you Asensio covered all his shorts? Is anybody on this board going to the shareholders meeting. I'm assuming it's in Mountainview California so who on this board lives near SanFransisco? I'm sure there will be some requests for our representative. Finally to my friend scope who seems to be a poor loser at best--fess up and admit to defeat and don't try pulling this after hours BS cause your fooling nobody. Later folks. VLAD
