RT,

IMO this news stuff doesn't really matter much. The Russel 2000 stocks are all beat to hell and only individual companies in this index that show good growth will get more institutional support.

IMO the Street will not allow Vivus stock to go up much until something of great substance is produced ie they are telling Vivus "show me the deal" and "show me the money". The only thing that will help the stock price rise is substance ie announce a deal with a partner and Q3 earnings must be better than estimates.

The only other piece of news that could help is to report the findings of the R&D studies to the general public. The article pointed out to DaiS is very soon to be released in the Journal of Physiology. The media just loves to feed the general public news such as this eg ICOS or Entremed. All Vivus would have to do is contact a few well read publications about this story over a weekend and then also get it on the airwaves. Since Vivus has piss poor PR and IR that can't find its way out of a wet paper bag, don't hold your breath that they would ever have the brain cells to figure something like this out.

Investors want to hear about what is new and promising in the companies they invest in. Vivus doesn't know about that either.
