Linda, I just read Tokyo's post: <<"If you want vapid levity, don't bother reading my posts. If you want meaningful data and analysis, you will find it here. I don't expect the short sellers to be very happy with the data I will present, but neither am I trying to advocate for those with a long position. I will simply try to provide information and resources with which you can make your own informed decisions. Dr Rubin ">>. ***************************** I think you may have some valid points about spreading somebgody's identity on the thread against his wishes, and as much as I honor and respect a true Vivusite,gg, I think that Tokyo may have a point. As you know I personally stated on the web that my advise is very personal, it is my opinion, if you follow it you may not be followint the correct investment (n Vivus ), that the Vivus thread for me is entertainment, and so I went out of my way to make it clear to any new thread readers that investing is a very dangerous field, that you can loose lots of money etc and that it behooves everybody to do their own DD and CAREFULLY evaluate the VERACITY of ALL the data presented. Dr Rubin presented himself in this forum in the above very serious tone, stating that he will present accurate data and " If you want meaningful data and analysis, you will find it here ". this would suggest to a new reader that his ddata are true, meaningfull and can toatlly be relied upon for investment decisions. Well, I treat my investment decisions in the same way I treat my patients: VERY seriously. So before I reccommend a therapy I need to know everything about the drug , it's authors, who pays them, their training, where were their data presented , how good was the Journal etc. In the same fashion therefore If Dr Rubin is going to pesent himself as a credible investing witness then I think that he needs to expect the same close scrutiny afforded to MDs presenting drugs to other MDs.
