martin,

I'm not too impressed with the analysts covering Vivus. I'd like to see some new coverage initiated by the likes of Merrill Lynch or some other large brokerage and expect this to occur soon.

ASA Vivus finds a partner, CS First Boston can resume making a market in Vivus and coverage since it will no longer be needed to negotiate anything.

I haven't seen any type of recent report on Vivus via Cruttendon Roth or Genesis Merchant. I don't have a lot of respect for the Genesis analyst as I feel he sold out on the Fulgham study during last years AAU meeting. Cruttendon Roth on the other hand has earned a bad wrap after Wole Fayemi kept banging the table. Actually I feel sorry for Wole as I think his call was correct but his timing stunk. Wole along with many others didn't expect the FDA to allow Pfizer carte blanche with Viagra.

My hat is off to Charlie O as he maintained his strong buy even as the stock lingered in the 2's. I expect to soon hear some sort of updated report from Charlie O at Paine Webber that should give a positive future outlook for Vivus.
