JG I for one am not sure they concelled information. They did come out 20 days before the end of quarter. Maybe they thought they could catch up, but keep getting further in the hole. They did make the announcemnt. Hopefully this will not mean a negative earnings suprise? And for every major firm downgrading the stock, I can even call them after the fact. How many downgrades were there before today's announcement. I believe VVUS had to bite the bullit. Startup of new lines and facilites for FDA and ISO approval are bitches. The company I was with shut down productions for days (even though they were months backlogged) to get 100% readyr for the inspections. Without the inspections they have nothing. Looks like they gave up a little production to win the battle. IMHO Sailor
