- Very true - in 6 months - perhaps a year - we'll know if Vivus survives.

- Vivus will either languish in the high single digits. Or go to $50. There's no inbetween.

- I argue, though, that when a sector does well, all the components go up. A rising tide lifts all boats. No matter how successful Viagra is - and I'm sure it'll be a hit - I think Vivus is going to carve out a huge niche.

I gathered the following on 3-19-98 from webbroker site:
Shares/ Outstanding 33.2 MM
Institutions holding: 63.30%
Insiders holding: 12.29%
The amazing part is for the last 4 months institution, and insiders
holding stays the same! (the site is updated, and very accurate)

DB:
Thanx for the reply.Did you ever ask yourself why dogs like EXDS which loses $2.00 for every buck they sell can jump $12.00 in one day? Or better off, how come companies like Yhoo,ctxs,bfit and many,many more which will show no profits for a long time can keep going up and up?FA,in my opinion,is overlooked these days.I have lost money on stocks with a P/E of 5 and Price to Sales of 38. It is enough to make someone sick of investing.
