Wrong on Vivus, Vivus is beaten down by the shorts and is way oversold and over shorted. The product will sell even better when the Viagra hoopla settles. They are now finishing studies on using a combination of Viagra and MUSE on cases that do not respond well to either drug alone. Vivus is currently trading at its IPO price. Soon there will be announcements on approval in Sweden and other countries. Vivus will be presenting info on their new improved product at the Urology seminar next month. New sales reps will start targeting general practitioners in one week. I spoke with Vivus a few days ago-they are getting a lot of input from MUSE patients who tried Viagra with no results. Many are still holding on in the 20's. Vivus is a gem at these prices--can easily see a rapid move back to the mid teens in a very short time frame. I think the shorts realize now that there are plenty of buyers in the 7's and that they will have to take profit and give some back to the longs. Short interest numbers out next Monday--I bet this stock has the highest % on the NASDAQ. If you think that Viagra will put the other ED players out of business then look at ZONA or MCHM and compare to VVUS. I wish I had waited to buy in a bit later than I did (loaded the boat after the gap down). I see many similarities between VVUS and IOM after its last correction. Also, look at and compare the two charts. If I had any cash I would be buying all the VVUS I could at these levels. Long and still holding. VLAD
