I wish I could see the good in it, Charlie - I really do. but I was taught to think critically about these things. the Board of Directors has experience in bringing drugs to market. The Board calls the shots. NUSI will provide the science/research for the phases of FDA approval. and these companies, among many others, will make money hand over fist: - McKinsey and Company - http://www.mckinsey.com/client_service/pharmaceuticals_and_medical_products/expertise/research_and_development - City Hill Ventures, LLC (private equity) - Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) - Abbot Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) - Shasta Ventures (private equity) - Ziff Brothers Investments and the Board of Adviors is comprised of more venture capitalists, risk scientists, health care insiders, and none other than Mr. FourHourWorkWeek himself, Tim Ferriss. seriously? in any event, whether the drug makes a difference or not remains to be seen. but there there will be a drug and it will join the ranks of lipitor ($7.7billion/year for mostly preventable cholesterol/heart disease), plavix ($6.8billion/year for mostly preventable heart disease), ($6.2 billion/year for mostly preventable heartburn . .. freakin' heartburn!). The market for a prescription drug to combat obesity is unfathomable .. .. wait, no its not. the initial market will soon be 50% of our country (call it 150,000,000?) multiplied by the cost of Mr. Pirelli's miracle fat-reducing elixir (call it $100/month) . ... $180,000,000,000/year. Subtract $180 *billion* if you think i overshot it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
