ICOS - Company offers alternative to Viagra
It seems Viagra may have an adversary from Europe: Cialis, from ICOS Corp, currently trading at $25.50. Bill Gates have been investing in this biotech and sits on its board.
According to a person who tested both products (for Erectile Disfunction and recreational use as well): "i actually ordered Cialis and Vardenafil from Europe when they went on sale and have experimented with them. Vardenafil was no different from Viagra, except i didn't get the a splitting headache like the one i got from Viagra. Cialis does in fact work for 36 hours. it's an extraordinary improvement over Viagra.
...With Cialis, you can do it 3 times a day, and 3 times the next day as well. It's truly extraordinary and a monumental advancement over Viagra."
...as far as the pfizer suit goes, it already got defeated in Europe where they already tried to contest it, so because of the precedence in this case, i think it has zero chance in the U.S. of being successful."

The 247profits e-dispatch today says that the 11 members of the OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) could sanction a considerable cutback in the oil production tomorrow in its emergency meeting in order to stabilize prices and keep them around US$25. That means a probable benefit for oil-based investments.
