David: My best guess is $1.07. Vivus needs to provide some positive news in order to restore investors and analysts' support. My the way, thanks for the doctorate. Although my two sisters are physicians, I only have an MBA. Hurrah for the Red and the Blue! Thanks for the contest! BigKNY3

.19 for 1.05 Liked 1.06 better but Zebra has it staked. More important is what they say to clear up the many negative issues swirling over the past few months. Just took a look at Zacks and they rate it a Strong Sell...guess that means they were'nt buying today. Good luck tomorrow although I'd rather not have to depend on it. Neil.

David,Re Earnings estimates. Normally my eye glaze over and I fall asleep as soon as I have to calculate anyhting more than my buying and selling price of a stock!!!gg.Honestly. My wife handles all our bills/taxes for same reason.I havge a mortsl allergy to them .So that in no way could I ever do what Zebra posted earlier ( or Ed Singer in the past ). All I do is eye ball things. A million here or a billion there , plus minus to the nearest few mill, or 10%, is good eniugh.That is why I never buy a company that earns or grows( or fluctuates, gg, such as the case of Vivus ) less than 10%.....a month!! I'd die of boredom!! TA
