Mike, when it comes to side effects of a drug, 6 deaths in a million users of Viagra, regardless of the disclosed warnings, should be a cause for serious concern, isn't it?

What are the odds of FDA seeking an immediate stop on selling the drug and then proceed with investigation. After all, the drug has been around only for few weeks. Considering the timeframe, 6 deaths is a lot. This should seriously damage PFE stock.

What do you think?

Funny, too -- very little (direct) news since the peak. Looks like a case of simple hype into exhaustion. Beginning to see the wisdom in your not selling until either a quadruple or expiry. Loss of a triple first time around made me gun shy and I took a double, but that (first loss) was exactly the reason I should have held.

Congrats! You've been chasing this one for a while.
