Unfortunately, there is never such a thing as full public disclosure. There will always be insider information. By the last CC we should expect that MCA approval will come within the next two weeks. I think that anyone looking to buy 100,000 shares can afford to hire an investigator to sniff around and find out that information. I know, if I had the time, I could do it, there are many ways of obtaining this information. If you don't believe that, look at the chart on this stock for the 10 days before the big crash/gap down in December. Yesterday was the higest volume traded in a day since the crash. Now we are starting to see heavy accumulation and I don't think its because of scrip data. I have had E-Mail reports, which I will not post because I cannot confirm them. Suffice it to say I added 2,000 more shares on margin in the past two days. This stock is ripe. Zebra

>>VVUS got 1200 calls on it's 800# first day<< Jim, I called that 800 number and requested product info. What I received was a package geared to an investor. I hope they just made a mistake and that all 1200 callers didn't receive the same thing.. RT

Jim, that is the news I had mentioned last week that I was getting from my colleagues. More and more of us are now - going directly to 1000 mcg, if testing shows no low BP at 500; skip the 500 mcg trial at home. 1000 is more effective. -we noted that if any hypotension occurs it will occur at the lower doses ( 500 ). A corollary is that, if NO hypotension occurs at 500, none will occur at 1000. - Actis is always recommend now: keeps the pellet in the urethra until completely dissolved. Always for ALL the drug to get into the corpus cavernosum.It is removed when erection is full, prior to sexual activity. -there are several guys who are finding up to 70 -75% response with the above method. -the simple Axis method ( the band ) is a great and simple discovery (as many discoveries are ). In the future, you'll be able to put ALL kinds of ALREADY APPROVED drugs in the penis with this technology.( There are all kinds of vasodilators that could be used ). -that would explain earlier lower response rates: i.e. they were due to, use of low doses, the 250 and 500, non use of Axis, pellet falling into bladder or other improper dispersal technique. -we no longer define " sexual activity ".Recent events in Washington have cast doubts as to what constitutes " proper sexual activity". There have been some ( as yet unconfirmed ) reports that some Washingtonians, ( at least 2 of them ) have undergone up to 37 testing visitations to try and determine what constitutes " proper sexual activity ". So the Urologists I know, no longer bother with that and we just give them the prescription with a general indication, " to be used during sexual activity ". TA
