I have been reading your interesting comments regarding Vivus and I have been accumulating the stock all along at various prices. I personally feel that this stock is one with tremendous promise and that serious investors should be buying instead of talking. The company is sound,has plenty of liquid assets, no debt, has a product that works and will be faced with some competition with Pfizer. I think there is room for both and that perhaps one can be used with the other, or if not there will be plenty of business for both companies. Vivus has not advertised because they have already more demand than production and and when the plant if operating they will triple their sales and earnings. The gross profit is astounding and they seem to have everything under control. Also, I think that this company could be a good takeover candidate by some large pharmaceutical company who wants to break into this market. There are so many opportunities here and yet most imporetant it will help a lot of people out there who need a product of this type. I am not trying to convert anyone but I seea great opportunity. I will keep buying but I think the lower range has dried up and it has been floundering around simply because the quarter has just begun, the plant is not occupied and will soon be operating and when it does things will become active again and prices as we have seen this past week will just not exist anymore. Keep up the verbiage my friends... I enjoy reading your comments.
