<<Incidentally, I expect to see Brad trading from the long side soon, if this is not already the case. Brad? Right or wrong?>> Since you asked, Richard, I'll tell you that I think this rally will be short-lived and a serious disappointment to many. Very little product was sold in Jan. and Feb. (only about $10 million from reliable sources) and a ton of inventory was dumped in the channel in March. This quarter's numbers will be far worse. Once again, Vivus' management has misled investors and the street and will ultimately be held accountable. Bradpalm1

Richard, nice post, and welcome back.Again , just a brief note because this computer is a dog.Was away for the weekend Obviously the big jump last 2 days are the big boyZ ( Vivus has 60% Istitutional ownership ) covering their shorts. These were shorts made to hedge their long position. At +/- 7.5 VIVUS was a steal. We had another jolly joy ride trading vvus last few days !!! Almost like the good old days. As Martin Zweig said : " don't fight the tape ", < GG >. And so I did , bought and sold. Same for PFE:Iin and out. Got to love these giant price swings. Meanwhile however due diligence is going on under ( or better yet ) on, the clinical table, in regards to the comparative efficacy of Viagra and Muse. We have a big data base here of over 1000 ED patients seen over the last year by about a dozen Urologists. No formal study is being carried out but you can quickly get an idea. So far ( only 2 weeks into Viagra ) I think it is still too early to call. But I am watching this like a hawk. As soon as I have made my mind up I will post it on this board. Meanwhile enjoy the surf and may the wind blow in your favor, same to all, TA ( anxiously waiting for my Mach V from Falcon Northwest computers ). My son tells me you can put a scuzzi hard drive even in your internal zip drive; I added it to my Cheetah 9.1 GB < GGGG >; can't wait to get it ).
