a buyout can only happen when company proves its product
is successful or has potential to become success.

MUSE was successful but that was the time without Viagara.
Now MUSE must prove it has potential to become success
konwing the existence of Viagara, which turns out to be
more difficult, though I personally believe MUSE will not
die but not under the management of such a team.

another thought: if there is buyout there or in talk, I believe
Leland would have been constrained by it and would not say anything
out. Now since he spoke out, i believe there is no and will not be
no buyout in near future. Probably, below 20, there will be no
serious buyer there at all. but at 20, probably most of you
guys here will have already gone so the buyout really has nothing
to do with you guys.

Conclusion, forget buyout ! Vivus needs to seek a better CEO
but not a buyer. if they spend money on looking for a buyer
right now, that's just another stupid decison made by such a
stupid team. it can only prove this company is hopeless.

believe me, i am not a short, instead, i still have a small
long position on this dog, as Dr.Bond does.
