blankmind, I'm a little curious as to your change of heart. Back in December you were ready to shoot me because I suggested Vivus' cash position at the end of Q1 could drop significantly to around $70 million. Now you're happy that they have $40? That's $30 less than you were pissed off about four months ago. Regarding the short squeeze, I think that the good news is going to slowly leak back into this stock in the form of a couple things: -viagra won't work as well as it has been hyped to -Vivus earnings will slowly crawl north from here If these things pan out over the spread of months, it'll give shorts a pretty wide time frame to close their positions. We need a positive upside shock to force a short squeeze and I can't even think of anything that could possibly provide that other than all the current MUSE users going on a sex rampage and quintupling their current usage. What action are you expecting that will generate the squeeze you keep saying is coming? Good luck, Gary
