I believe they are reiterating what we already know. According to the Pfizer web site, only 3% of patients experience the blue tinge. If these 3% stop taking Viagra, revenues will still be huge. Also, Pfizer knows what is causing the blue tinge (see the web site pfizer.com). I think the following events will cause PFE to go up in the near term: 1. Increasing weekly prescription counts. 2. Approval in several foreign countries. 3. More anecdotal evidence that Viagra helps women. Richard

Zurdo, RE: they (doctors) should shut up I'm not a doctor, but I read what they said and it sounded more like they were being the conservative types that doctors usually are. Basically they said that there have been no long term studies of the affects of this drug and people should be cautious about using it. No one know what the long term affect may be not even our beloved PFE. Like you I want PFE to go WAY up soon, but these doctors don't care about PFE's stock price today or tomorrow. They just want people to exercise a bit of good judgement and not get caught up in all the hype. I didn't feel that they slammed Viagra. I felt that they just strongly urged caution. Anything that stimulates a pleasure center will sell big time. The company sees the green the consumer sees blue... IMHO, Chris Almost 30,000 RXs a day and climbing! 29500715=$3.09million a day or $1.13 billion annualized. Keep it up with Viagra!
