Hank - Everyone is entitled to their opinion SGP/Zona will not be standing still either. They are already working on the female version and a "combined" compound.

Hank, you should also keep in mind the Buy Rec out from Don Imus. Every day Mr. Imus & his sidekick read third tier newspaper articles on the air, they may have stumbled on a real gem here.

Hank, I tend to play stocks like ZONA on the short side, and have followed Roger Babb's threads for a long time. Independently of the fundamentals behind Zonagen, which I am unable to evaluate, I think it is far too dangerous to short this stock at this point. Zonagen's market capitalization is "only" about $500 million. This is peanuts for today's inflated standards. Zonagen could easily be valued at over $1 billion, if people start believing that Vasomax will be a big drug. The hype on Viagra can only be compared to the internet frenzy (KTEL is up 14 times in one month, Market Guide was up 10 times in one morning). You may or not be right about the drug and about Joe Podolsky's ethics, but the stock can take a walk on the stratosphere before we find out the truth. Is it really worthwhile shorting this stock, I mean in terms of risk-reward ratio? Best regards.
