Richard, great analysis; that $44 looks on course. The UK announcement tomorrow at 9am wouldn't hurt a bit, would it?

A few additional elements that make VVUS interesting for me are: a)the potential of another stock-split before the end of the year. b) the potential for exceptional sales in the UK following the product launch in September or October. c)the very real availability of an additional $15 million in combined milestone payments from Astra and Janssen as full marketing approval is obtained in other countries. d) potential delay of FDA approval of competitive products. e) I liked the way VVUS stepped up to the plate and bought back 3 million dollars in common stock (151,000 shares) in second quarter. They have the funds to pull off another chest-banging move like that again this year.

Welcome aboard Mr. Strang. You will not be bored, THAT is the one true VVUS guarantee!
