-- <<Cash & Cash Equivalents will decline to less than $70 million>> -- Gary, how can you say that cash will drop from $100 mill to $70 mill? -- As pointed out previously, despite buybacks, plant expansions, and product roll outs, the cash balance grows each quarter despite it all. -- Hence, even a lousy 4th 1/4 for VVUS would probably not do much to hurt their enviable cash position; and may even help it. -- In fact, if VVUS is shipping less product, then look for A/R to shrink, which will also raise the cash position further. -- And if you mess up on the cash position, which is so basic, I can only wonder on the merits of the remainder of your post. -- Out.

Gary I got the margin call but it was not the day before Christmas. I find the best rule of thumb is NEVER EVER till you wife about stock dealing. I have been there and done that...This type of behavior leads to erectile Dyfunction. <GGGGG> When my wife comments about stock dealings...I just say" we are doing great dear!!!! My broker always calls me on my private line...and he never leaves a message on the answering machine..If he does its " Hi Jack this is your all state agent please give me a call" Life is to short to worry about shit like this. Gary..This stock will recover in 1998...I just known it... You will just have to wait. All the people on this thread may want to look at WIKD...for the january POP....JG
