Colby s.e. ( standing erect ). I bought back today at the closing price just about all the Vivus position that I sold yesterday; 4 points.(Is this a form of shorting?( gg ).There is enough cash available however to buy some more all the way down to....30.6? 25? or 21 ( that is the lowest estimate I heard on this thread.I don't know what it will do Monday but I 'll be ready either way; I will also buy up more if it opens strongly ( i.e., " con gusto " , in musical parlance ): you just can't predict what will happen with stock too accurately so I have taken to averaging my position/risk up & /or down. The fundamentals as far as I am concerned have not changed with this Co. I think there was profit taking today which is to be expected after a ~ 15 point ( 50 % ) powerfull non-stop run up and you need a breather. It will try again the $50 mark but you have to stay close to it and see if it is panting and may to take a 2nd or 3rd try: these are tall high jumps and as you know Vivus is just in junior varsity trying after only 4 months in the field to make Varsity. I don't know what was saiin the PW coference but if there WERE ANY bad vibes I would have assumed the stock would have swooned by 1130 hrs ( Vivus presented at 0830 I understand ) and instead it hit 47-48,the 49 might have been due to short covering. As of 1600 hrs the New York office of Merrill-Lynch still had no stock available for shorting.So if what Rich.Thus the 4,900,000 million shorts ? soon to be ? buying clientele for Vivus stock is still out there just waiting for an opportunity to buy back Vivus at a much higher price ( I meant much lower price gg ). There you have it Colby s.e.,today's activity report; so stay in touch so we'll be in touch. Barbara Walters. P.S. I still haven't heard from the Urologists on this thread as to what they think is the Medical reason that this stock is so volatile. This I understand may be too hard of a Quiz since I suspect I am the first and only one ? to have picked this up.I will suggest a 2nd clue today: Go back and read THE ORIGINAL MUSE PAPER IN THE NEJM and see if you can find in it what I see.
