I don't think we're going to see any upgrades until VVUS gets MCA approval of the second factory, expected mid-Feb. Any announcement of regulatory delay should drive the stock solidly into single digits. On the other hand, an early approval of the second plant and immediate shipment of the "at risk" product should boost the Q1 results over the '97 Q1 and Q4 results, which is what the anals want to see. Where is H&Q? When I checked institutional owners last month, two H&Q funds had big stakes. I don't even think they have an analyst rating on it. And none of the questions came from H&Q this month or last. Hopefully, they'll start coverage, soon. Look what they can do with RMBS !!!! (they gave it a PE of 600) David
