<<It's good to see that you crawled out of the vivus to single digits thread. Why don't you go back there and play with your friend mike.>> Just the sort of charitable, open minded attitude I expected. <<Shorters such as yourself is partly why the stock price is where it is at. >> Actually I believe the number of shares shorted has been the same order of magnitude through the run up last year and on down the other side. When the price was going up it was because so many people were short (the dreaded short squeeze). When the price goes down it is because so many people are short. Why are you always looking someplace else to put the blame? All this from a Johnnie-come-lately to SI and to the Vivus thread. You gotta lotta noive.

Hey VLAD, if Dale and Mike caused your losses, hire a lawyer and sue them! this is such idiocy that two people who talk about why a stock will go lower are accused (by you) of driving down the price. Dale said in his posts there last week that he's not short VVUS. Mike claims to be, but it took two people "slumming" over there from what they call the "main" thread to point out that gains on short sales are always short-term gains. So maybe nobody over there is short, and it's just talk. it doesn't matter. there's a lot of posturing here anyway. like the tendency of many people to add a few zeroes to the size of their trades. who cares? i said it before, and i'll say it again. VlAD, you are the problem here. YOU go off and start your own private forum of certified longs and true believers!!!! if you can tell people to get off this thread, i can do the same for you. go start your own thread! vaminos!!!
