RT, - You're basically saying that Vivus is a fraud. That if MUSE was successful, that there would be at least 20 or 30,000 refills a week. And that MuSE is a failure. Is this correct? - If you remember back in 11/97 or 12/97, this exact same issue came up. And the pro-fraud crowd backed up its assertions by pointing out that the factories were going on idle for Christmas; a line was cannibalized; and the new factory wasn't really needed in the first place because the product wasn't selling. And they went thru the refill scripts just like you're doing. - Lo & behold, in Jan '98, Vivus came out with results for the 4th 1/4. And despite all these problems, they did $32.9 mill in sales. And had profits of $5.8 mill. The stock went up 50%. And now it's at 12 1/2; as new questions arise about MCA approval. And when these questions are resolved; the stock will move way higher. - I guess I'm asking you so what? What does your analysis mean exactly? Are you saying that the financials are bogus? Or MUSE doesn't work? What exactly are you saying. Out.
