The only bounce is in my wallet Kent! Today, was encouraging since VVUS is slowing down. No doubt, the short interest has been reduced a great deal. I noticed in IBD that it dropped from 10 million to 8 million before the blowoff yesterday! It must be down to 6 million by now. A few heavy buy blocks and price reversal could still bring on a two day short sqeeze and 5 points up gap from the $24 price level.

Kent and all, Re: Vivus Pfizer is mounting a PR blitzkrieg for Viagra, a competing drug with MUSE. They've got the FDA to cowtow and put the drug on fast track approval, "expert" urologists are singing Viagra's high praises on TV, and shows like the Today Show and even CNBC are blaring out the Viagra is the best thing since sliced bread. No wonder VVUS goes down on one of the biggest %age gaining days for the markets. I don't understand why VVUS won't counter-attack with some PR of it's own. I heard they are getting Capt Steubing from The Love Boat for ad campain starting in Nov I believe. Wish they could speed it up. We might want to wait on writing those CC's until the MUSE PR train gets moving. C'mon Capt Steubing, help us out! Vol
