I'm glad you said that. I was thinking the same thing.

Barrons said that the decline was due to concerns with integration of Premenos. They also said it was a good deal. Of course all shareholders of both Premenos and Harbinger recently received a notice of shareholders meeting to vote on the merger, and a prospectus. I think that a lot the selling was due to that prospectus. The RISK section of those things is enough to scare the most seasoned investors. Here is an interesting post from another thread on the same subject:

Zebra, it is thorough for you to reference SEC filings. But the boiler-plate disclaimers are filed by lawyers on behalf of management, and only after a lot of questions and grilling of management. So I, for one, put little repose in SEC declarations of risk. A lawyer who does not paint the bleakest possible picture in an SEC doc is not literate in word-processing applications for the legal profession. I'm only posting about this simple point: don't anyone try to rationalize their position based on the cautions of an SEC doc. They are there to protect the company in case of adversity; never to portend future results of operations.

I am looking for VVUS to live way beyond their SEC disclaimers, as I know Zebra is as well.

Good investing,
