Still in shock. I never expected such a loss. You couldn't tell from where I stand. There is absolutely no product in stock.....none! VVUS is running 6 lines ....2@ 24-7 and 4 @ 20 hrs per day. Paco output is 1.1 mil a month. VVUS is 2.7 mil a month.

The only prob. is there is not enough overseas containers to ship all over seas....

Sorry I don't have accurate #'s but I know that VVUS will profit and is not going broke. So what ...they got kicked in the ass and now their getting up and brushing themselves off.......ever happen to you pizza?

Roy...Where VVUS lacked, in foresight, was the impact of VIAGRA. They had their marketing force concentrating on the Urologist's while PFE went right to the PCP's and blew them out of the water. They needed a large partner domestically prior to the VIAGRA launch and instead elected to go toe to toe with the PFE marketing staff. PFE won. Now they have admitted that and will seek assistance to get back on track domestically.
