<<New scripts 10,742 up 5.2% Refills 5,226 up 7.2% Total 15,968 up 5.8%>> Dr. Bond, -- If the numbers you post are accurate, and I see no reason why not, then this is the best news in a long time. -- Even the Barron's article and confer call had slightly less prescriptions - new and refill. -- Therefore, what's your source for the above numbers? (I'm long VVUS, but like Prez Reagan says, "Trust, but verify") -- And when did this information come out? I.e., if the news if fresh, then price may go up this week. If not, then it's already been factored in. Thanks.

That's the kind of good news I was talking about. Very strong, but look at the five day chart. Pattern continues with mild strength in AM and weakness in PM. Unless pattern changes, we'll be under 10 tomorrow. The drift down is very telling. Facts are not the issue; the future must unfold in its own time.
