Mike, " A GREAT SILENCE HATH FALLEN UNTO THE VIVUS THREAD, and the PFE THREAD, ( and possibly other unscouted Naz thread at this time !!!) gg. What happened? MUST be the markets tanking. gg. Well a brave doctor must venture forth in times of crisis and provide the neccessary guidance and support to the patient( - investors). Vivus has been stuck at ~ 22 11/16 FOR A VERY LONG TIME , ~ 2 hours today; while the markets tanked too. - Volume very low also, at an extrpolated daily volume of 700 K shares: that's very low for Vivus. - Also, a lot of offers at 22.5 BUT NO TAKERS!!! GGG: 10 : 1 ask to bid ratio. So what do all these signs mean in term of patient( - investors ) daignosis, prognosis and treatment?? Well Mr Dubis, the -the disease is not as bad as we first thought. gg -looks like you are very likely to recover. -looks like you are putting up a good fight inspite of a very severe initial phase of the disease. In more technical terms, there appears to be support here. The sellers appear to have dried up. That's good. Now we wait for complete defervescence and subsequent revovery so we can get back and play football again !!!! Dr. TA PS Another very strong patient is actually up and out of bed today in this hail storm, gg. Intel is up. In a market correction the gigger more liquis stocks get hammered first and worst as mangers want to have immediate cash to meet withdrawals.However these stocks are also the first to recover.

MIke, Naz further down.Vivus down a little. Volume til low. What a great buiyng opportunity!!!! The Asian fears IMHO are overblown. A relative of mine has been there: - China has NO interest in a weak Hong Kong : it will support it. -Most of Asian countries trade with Japan: J apan will be the most affected. -Foreign investment will continue to come here an d support bonds. -foreign cheap products will continue to provide competitition here and keep inflation down. - the high PE companies are taking it on the chin -Semiconductors are tankig (n Texas Instr down 13 ) because of oversupply. In the midst of all this the eternal truths of life remain: There is only one, proven, approved , product for ED on the market: Go Vivus!! TA
