tom...it means that we get to cook the short pigs nice and slow for a long time then we have a good ole pig picking....bar-b-que The receipt ....requires one new plant, reduced cost, basted with large amounts of international sales, firmer usa sales slowly rising after the initial Viagra release, topped off with foreign countries holding back or restricting Viagra introduction in their countries, lessons learned from state/fed/hmo's/ins co's in the usa...restructure usa sales force now or later.....get the 1999 profits up between $43-60 mill And next year well add another plant in Ireland, reduce cost again, put Paco plant to rest, cut a major distribution deal for Japan, start marketing ALIBRA, maybe a few more spices,etc,etc get the profit in yr 2000 up to $100 mill range come to the table ...Paine Webber just announces that the dinner has started to cook..........we'll have a few more brokers call out their upgrades as they smell the cooking in the kitchen..

Tom and Tim Gardner, up to 9. I think we need to focus on how will Vivus do if other insurance companies join Humana and Prudential and state that they don't want to cover Viagra because " of safety concerns ". At that point in time I can assure you GPs ( General Practitioners ) ardor will start to cool down rapidly. And then Vivus will be left in the unique position of being the safer and effective alternative.This, in addition to being better than Viagra for moderate to severe ED cases.Especially IF USED AS INSTRUCTED to include the Actis band. In my mind I have not given up the idea of Vivus back at $ 40 if they can make $2 by ?next year? Having said this Tim, I will shut up and wait for eps day, TA
