>>In a contrasting opinion, Alan Jacobs, research director at Avalon Research Group in Boca Raton, Fla., is not enthusiastic about Vivus' prospects, mainly because of the way Muse is administered. Viagra is a pill taken orally. Muse is a suppository inserted into the tip of the penis with a plastic applicator. "Before I tried Muse I think I would look around first for another pill," he says. << Sure, most people would. But right now there isn't a pill other than Viagra.

What kind of journalism are they practicing over there??? No one states the obvious, or questions this comment?? Then again, Cramer was long PFE, and might still be.
