Looks like estimates for this quarter have ticked up a penny recently,new site here on Yahoo under detailed research biz.yahoo.com I love these news releases coming out of Japan especially,they have always been very open about sex and have lots of money to spend to enhance the pleasure.I wonder how much these black market sales throughout the world will effect this quarter? A year from now it will all be a moot point,unless Viagra is pulled I see it a 5 billion dollar drug in 1999.Switzerland selling it as of yesterday was big news,first major European country.The rest had better get with it or risk loosing big "tourist dollars" Ditto Thanks to Anthony and BigK.

Perry and Jim, the 1999 revenue picture from Viagra would be clearer as more and more countries have approved Viagra: countries in the EU in late 1998, and many Asian countries in 1999. I'll place my bets on Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong as providing the bulk of sales in Asia. Hong Kong would be the source of blackmarket for China; Japan's and Taiwan's trust in brandname goods would mean that they are less likely to buy the Viagra clones from India; and US$10 isn't such a big deal in all these 3 currencies. Timeline for Viagra approval according to Asia Week (no mention of China) Hong Kong Early 1999 Japan 2001 Malaysia Late 1999 Philippines 1999 Singapore 1999 South Korea Late 1999 Taiwan Early 1999 Thailand Approved P.S. re. the news posting, no sweat at all, glad to be of help.
