BigKNY, you're losing your touch... >>there is not a single Big Pharma that would co-market any pharmaceutical unless it has the potential of over $400 million per year(remember profits are shared with the developer). In fact, Pharma will not even launch their owsource:n products if they do not have the potential to reach over $200 million per year.<< Then, from your own source: >>Drug 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 phentolamine (VASOMAX) $ -- $ -- $ 30 $ 60 $ 95 $ 130<< Funny, I though SGP had signed on to market Vasomax. Explain please.

BigK, You're so full of yourself it can only make me laugh...LOL!!! Is tha anal_yst at Smith Barney now the latest almighty ED guru? Is that the same one who is forecasting $500M for Vasoscam's first year? LOL!!! I remember all the anal_ysts pounding the table and claiming that Viagra sales would reach $3 billion in its first year yet it only did something like $780 million.....they were only off by about 75%. I had a md friend of mine call me this weekend insistent that Viagra will eventually be pulled off the market due to its terrible safety profile and the fact that it is merely a lifestyle drug. I told him that it will be a cold day in hell when that happens. His problem is that he is focused on what is right and safe for the patients. He doesn't understand how the game is played. Guys like yourself have hardened many Vivus investors and have taught us that it's not about safety, science, ethics, etc. etc. etc......but it's only about making money. Don't you think that by now all the long time Vivus investors have you pegged for who and what you really are???
