Whoever it was doesn't want to let anyone know who they are. In my past day trader days, Terra Nova on the bid was a bullish indicator.

FWIW, Viagra sales in Europe sucked. Pfizer made $411M in Viagra sales in the US in its first quarter of availability. The next quarter "global" sales were only $141M. The past quarter sales were only $236M which was an increase in $95M with many new markets opening including Europe and Australia. Europe which has a much greater population than the US showed sales which were less than 1/4 of the sales seen in the US during its first quarter of release. Looks to me like after another quarter Viagra will probably not even break one billion in global sales. Viagra is not the blockbuster drug all the analysts predicted especially in light of all the internet and black market availability--don't forget that these sales are wholesale not retail so income includes all available channels of sales.
