Jack, you have lost a sh-tload of money, you despise management, you can't stand any long sentiments, you think the pills will eventually eliminate any other form of remedy, yet you continue to be long VVUS. I am curious what is going to drive the VVUS share price up in your opinion? A buyout? A marketing agreement? What is compelling you to hold this stock? Colby

JG, You are right I'm sure, but the key thing is that the viagra tidal wave, having captured, what? >96% of the market has reduced muse repeats only by less than 50%!!! Few appreciate the significance of this. Throw in the reduced production costs at the new plant, a few extra European countries - even if we are less drugged up to the eyeballs than you lot - and viagra is irrelevant. Oh yes, and it is even possible that the increases in the size of the market caused by viagra might benefit muse sales - heard this before? - but we don't really need this in the long run. DaiS

jr From this morning... <<Ya the <GGG> means grin...Im not out to bash anybody Im just kidding around. >> (your quote in case you don't recognize it) I'm not so sure all the Bullsh*t on this thread is being spread by others. If you are "just kidding" with this last post, then you certainly have a "warped sense of humor".... You aren't the weak link in any chain, unless you CHOOSE to be the wink link, jack...really... One could question your intent here if you keep raining on our parade. However small it may seem, it is still our parade and I'm gonna cheer and smile and enjoy it, IN SPITE of you. Have a good day....relax...breathe deep....in fact, good therapy..take three deep breaths and only let 2 out.... (Possibly) Your (only) friend, E'Lane

Jack, take a viagra...I was not commenting specifically on what they said about VVUS, but after following briefing.com for quite a long time, all I can say is they call as they see it, but are very often about their predictions.
