RT, ALL VIVUS LONGS ,HERE IS THE REAL STORY!!!!! IMHO.

First of all please excuse-my-typing.Keyboard-is-stillbroken.

2nd,RT.from-previous-discussions-with-Investors-relations-I-can-confirm-evrything-you-said-tobetrueto-the-penny.They-never-give-out-eps-even-if-they-are-blow-outs!They-are-above-board-and-don't-want-to-give-anpunfair-advantage-ot-one-investor-over-another.

3rd,Vinick,must,have boughtmy(nad-this-threads')shares-at28-30!! Perhaps-he-should-consider-hiring-us-to-do-his-buying!!!

4th,If-he-boughat28-30,it-is-doubtfull-"he'll-sell-at-27',and"drive-the-price-down",as Chimnoy-Roy-so-boldly-suggested!!"

" What do you suppose happens when Vinik starts to sell (which is, as I recall, just about the time he tells everyone he's buying). "

Chimnoy,are you OK buddy? Maybe you should see a doctor.

5th; TOKYO VD!!!!!my friend!!
a)thanks-for-driving-Vivus-down-today-and-allowing-me-to-load-up-at
-27!I-couldn't-have-done-it-without-your-help!!hope-there-is-some-
follow-through-tomorrowso-I-can-sell-some-more-INTC-and-buy-
Vivus:I-think-it-is-a-better-price!!!,and-a-better-stock( :same-eps
as Intel in 1-1 1/2years?gg)with-all-due-respect-to-INTEL-holders.)

b)I got to grant-it-to-you-Tokyo: you are one-slick-operator!!! You-had-almost-everyone-in-this-thread=fooled!!!
A slick-prediction-a-few-days-ago-about-the-two-
bit-Ad-in-the-New-York-Times!!(do-you-work-for-them?.Probably many knew about-that-anyway.Company-didn't-think-it-was-even-worth-a-press-release!!
c)And today,gee, a macabre warning:

" but it sounds like Vivus may be headed for trouble if they did ship
product prematurely" (post#3385) " but please do not tell them your theory that Vivus has been shipping product overseas, this will be-bad-for-everyone(includingthecompany)."(post#3379)....Are-you-threatening-the-thread-Tokyo?gg

UNFORTUNATELY TOKYO you ,made a fatal error:YOU UNDERESTIMATED THE MEMORY CAPACITY OF A DOC!!!!! gg
I REMEMBER you Tokyo,even-if-it-was-5-months-ago!!!(good memory eh?

TOKYO VD ,YOU ARE A SHORT in disguise!!!
Vivus thread, here are Tokyo's posts; They speak for themselves:

techstocks.com

So Vivus-thread,Ibelieve-that-what-we-have-here-is-a-desperate-attempt
by-Vivus-shorts-to-bad-mouth-Vivus,drop-the-price-and-cover-their-shorts!!!All-of-them::
TokyoVD,Chimnoy Roy,to name-just-a-couple.I sometimes believe-in-cospiracies-and-
I-think-we-got-a-live-one-here!!!ggg.
There-is-a-whole-bunch-of-shorts-out-there!!!::::50% of=the-Vivus=float!!!..Is-there
a competing drug company-in-it??...Drop-price-of-Vivus-and-alienate-several-rich Urologists-Vivus-stockholders,and-turn-them-against-Vivus/Discredit-the-company?gg
I don't know;you tell me.
They certainly-picked-a-good-moment-to-do-it:A-time-when-theNaz-tanked
due-to-Microsoft-tanking-from-the-Barron's-article-this-weekend!!!

Anyway-I-think-all-this-folks-can-now-see-the-writting-on-the-wall;In-three-weeks-,Vivus-will-come-out-with-new-blow-out-above-expectations-earnings,-and-the-long-awaited-short-squeeze-will-begin!!!;;;40?,45?,50?,in a blink? gg

By the way,Investors relations said that the 5 mill$$ for advertising "is-just-a-token-figure-put-out-by-the-as-agency:Vivus-has-not-said-what-they-willspend-in-advertising:it-willprobably-be-much-more-than-that.
A-final-thought-on-U-K-approval:guys/gals,don'tworryaboutit:Anything-
gets-approvedin-the-UK. For-those-that-doubt-it,ask-your-bookstore-to-order-for-you-the-latest-edition of- "Martindale's Pharmacopoeia",a-long-running-Btitish-textbook-of-pharmacology-and-see-for-yourself-the-tremendous-number-of-DRUGS,POTIONS,HERBS,and-various-Hocus-Pocus-concoctions-approved-in-Great-Britain-for-prescrption-by-their MDs:over-half-of-them-never-used-in-the-USA(they-don't-work):
So-do-you-think-that-now-that-there-is-a-scientifically-proven-drug-such-as-Muse,and-the-ONLY-therapy-for-ED,that-they-will-NOT-approve-it?Give-me-a-break.
