Captain, thanks for the update. It seems to me that Vivus is on track with whatever plan they may have. Hopefully we will hear more about it next month.

I think we have a very "seasoned" management team that has learned from the past. The chances of Vivus making a bad business decision at this point are nill. I am contemplating adding to my position next week, but I think I will wait until after the CC to see what's brewing.

As far as "selling the news" goes, I think RW has a good point here. We longs are turning out to be our own worst enemy by providing supply when price runs up.

I must admit that I was tempted to dump at 3 3/8 on Friday, but I have this instinct telling me that one of these days I am going to get burned when the price keeps on going to 9 or 10 and stays there. After all, everyone here has being screaming how undervalued this company is. And with our luck and after all of our waiting, that's probably exactly what would happen.

Captain, Thanks for the update. We shall continue to wait patiently.

It is not out of the question that we could see some progress in the stock price at this qs report.

Captain, great post on Vivus. Paints a picture for me of a rational team with some cards to play.

It may take ALibra to sweeten up the US partner deal beyond "best effort" into what Vivus might consider acceptable. I don't have a complete handle on where Alibra fits into the overall marketing plan presently.
