Chip, Apology accepted and returned in the same manner it was given. I am, as the old saying goes "a lover not a fighter". (DON'T even go there!) My tone did sound like I crawled out of the wrong side of the cave this morning if you don't know me, and of course, you don't. You are correct, Mr. Chanin's posts are usually valid, I just didn't see the validity of this one. Well, when he wakes up this morning in sunny Hawaii he will have warm fuzzies and can appreciate his fan club on here. The peace treaty has been signed, all is well in the world, and he slept like a babe thur the whole thing! You are a loyal bunch where he is concerned I'll give you that. OK..friends now? I sincerely hope so.. Again..have a great day..meet you back here at the finish line, E'Lane

A few questions for the "antilongs" and the longs too. Do you think VVUS is dead money now and forever, or just now? I certainly don't have expectations for any quick runups in the near future (next couple of months), but long term, I can't see this company going away. The market is just too big. I also think soon after FDA approval we should see some more countries on the MUSE plan. Would you consider shorting the stock at these levels? It is selling @ just over 3x its cash position. Seems pretty cheap, unless you think this baby is not a going concern. For the cheerleading thing, when you are in a stock, you root for it to do well. I don't consider myself a cheerleader, but I certainly am not frustrated by it. I do get concerned when it gets dillusional, like the short squeeze to 25. That ain't gonna happen real soon. On the flip side, unsupported bashing is the "antilong" version of cheerleading, but it tends to be more insulting and condescending than your run of the mill type cheerleading. When one refers to this as a PIG and the likes, there is a sense of harshness there. It is more than inputting rational sentiments on the bearish side. JMHO. On that note, "Go VIVUS, Don't stop. First 20's then 30's! WhaaaWhooooo! Yippeeeeee! This train is movin! All Aboard! The rocket has been cleared for take off! Get on, or you'll get burned!" (gggggggggg) Colby
