Andreas,

The problem I find with yourself and others such as yourself is that I believe you were looking for the "get rich quick" news(ie domestic partner announcement or at least a Japan partner announcement).

I got into Vivus as a value play after the December 1997 tank.

Of course I had no idea that the FDA would fast track an erectile dysfunction drug that was a new and unique chemical whose safety profile was undetermined. And of course I would probably have just sat on the side lines had I known that Viagra was going to be the most over-hyped drug in the history of the American Press. Shows you the dangers of not owning a crystal ball.

Whereas your focus is solely on the guaranteed out look on MUSE sales going out 2 quarters I am more focused on the R&D side because that is where the real future growth of Vivus can be found. MUSE/Alibra sales will do just fine as the various international markets are launched. I don't see the female SD product nor the premature ejaculation product as story stuff or fluff or hype. These IMO will be the types of products that will eventually take Vivus stock price to new all time highs. It won't happen tomorrow but I am confident that time is on my side.

PS Why don't you just load the boat on some internut pie in the sky company? I doubt you will find an opportunity to get rich quick on any of the small biotech stocks.
