Don, We are dealing with a very young biotech company which is now also a pharmaceutical company. This company was founded on research and development of products dealing with erectile dysfunction and the urogenital system. The company now plans on doing research and development on other products related to erectile dysfunction and urogenital disorders. Reports on the ICOS drug claim that if it is ever approved and released then the product probably will not be available to the public until the year 2001 or 2002. So why does the stock run up as much as over 8 points in one day? I'll tell you why. It's because so called investors are like stupid sheep and believe most of the crap spouted on CNBC. I don't know why people think that the sky is falling. I did my homework and decided that Vivus was a bargain after the December crash. I have communicated with quite a few urologists before and after Viagra. Some of them have loaded the boat on Vivus since the crash and since the release of Viagra. Would the very professionals who will make or break this company be buying the crap out of this stock in single digits if they thought it was a bust? Think about it.
