The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

With few new drugs coming through the pipeline, significant investment is required to build a pipeline sufficient to support future growth, especially in light of patent expiries in 2007-9. Nevertheless, we see significant share price downside as unlikely.

Currently, import is totally businesses' activity. There has been almost no room for the Government to intervene by administrative means after China entered the World Trade Organization .

The industry has gotten the hell beaten out of it because of number portability. The market is assuming it's going to have a pretty negative impact. If and when it can be determined that number portability is a big or little deal is when you should make an investment decision.
