<<I would just like to know what makes you so against a company that to me at least seems to provide service to people that require it.>> So only posts that say good things about a company are allowed? No discussion of the competition, inflated earnings projections, etc. Next you will start on about how short selling is un-American I suppose. I am not against the company, but I am a skeptic and first hand experience has suggested that the product, while certainly useful, is overrated and the prospects for this company has been seriously hyped. Given the performance of the stock, don't you think my concerns perhaps more correctly reflect the reality of this company? That is assuming that you unlike VLAD do not attribute the drop in stock price to me personally. Me and the vast right wing conspiracy against VVUS. And now for another biased attack on Vivus by a paid shill of Pfizer (or maybe just a healthy dose of reality): I spoke with the Pfizer drug rep today and asked about the availability of Viagra. He anticipated there would be no problem finding it in pharmacies (and my patients have confirmed that there hasn't been a problem) as PFE had shipped $80+ million of the drug prior to its launch. Remind me again, how much MUSE did VVUS sell in all of last year. I think that expectations for Viagra have been hyped as well and that there will be many disappointed patients, though there will also be many satisfied patients and PFE will make a bundle. I am not to say bad things about PFE, too? Just make nice.
