raf, not impressed. KM better have a real plan. I know a lot of you think this is cheap here and it is. Doesn't mean they can't screw this up and things get worse.

Thanks RAF…… the problem is not generics, this is a marketing and image issue as doctors think this is a Trig lowering drug and the reason we see steady GL and rising GV. They have not educated the doctors this is for CVD prevention. Pfizer could double sales in 30 days.

Apparently supply is still not an issue - Thero boasted he could out sell supply - doesn't look that way as their marketing is absolutely dismal

Dual issue: a.) Infringement b.) Marketing

End Result - Poor sales Poor revenues poor stock price
