>> The reason it will be moving back up is because the MMs will be covering their shorts and buying at much lower prices we ever had a chance to buy in at cause who sold already lost their money and those still holding have no more money to spend since it is all tied up in Vivus. HA HA<< Actually I had to think long and hard on this. And just how much VVUS is really worth. With all the noise out there its pretty hard to see any thing clear for very far out. The only thign I can go on right now is the earnings report which said they are doing okay and its going to get better. So what do I do? Well I decided to liqudiate my other positions and buy MO VVUS! Currently with all the hype in internet stocks and over valued stocks out there I begin to think 6 months out if VVUS will be at $5 or $20, I think it will be a lot closer to 20. I think I can buy 10-20k more here.. Dont really want to but if it goes to 8 or so I will start to look at just selling everythign out and buyign SEP 7 1/2 calls with the money. VVUS 80 BY OCT!

VLAD, this may sound extreme but I believe that almost all NASDAQ volatile stocks are manipulated by MMs everyday. IMO this is one of the most unfortunate financial event (some others like common person being systematically kept off of IPO etc.) played every day with money from hard working American fellows. So called investment and value rules apply only 20% of the time. The rest 80% is manipulation, mis-information, hype, trend and follow-up on what big MM brothers want! Financially NYSE is much better controlled and disciplined. Investment mechanisms of bid and ask are never known to the public.(the way other democratic mechanisms of vote, speech, residence, business etc. are known).
