Selling makes no sense.

Not sure if the copy and pasted info below will show up correctly but like many have posted this placebo was sure a miracle worker. If you took the big loss this morning why sell into the pressure? You have waited this long why not wait the extra 2-3 weeks to allow the company to get a better understanding of this wonder placebo and what happened in the trials.


A placebo is an inactive, generally harmless substance given in place of a real medication. Original use of the placebo could help doctors determine whether a suspected condition was of psychological or physical origin. Doctors would give a placeboto a patient, telling them it would cure their illness or lessen theirpain. If symptoms improved, then the doctor might suspect hypochondria.


Today the placebo is used in clinical double blind testing to examine the effectiveness of new medications. Unlike past use of the placebo,however, patients participating in studies are fully aware that theymay not get the real medication. Usually half the patients in a clinical trial receive the real medication while the other half receive a placebo.
