<<Does anyone plan to attend the annual shareholders meeting, May, 21st?>> Frosty, I was going to attend, but my wife has been reading E'Lane's posts here, and put her foot down. No trip to the meeting for me. Guess she was afraid i might meet up with the wild woman of the vvus thread and try out all the ED products on the market in the name of research. <gg> Mike

Two things about Vivus have really ticked me off: 1. Wasted millions of $$'s on mass advertising. 2. Ridiculously expensive annual report with pull-outs; one-page hype messages; and a tie around the cover of all things. How stupid. - I did like the 800 million muse have been sold - and some other really good facts. - But annual reports are becoming toned down and simpler. Companies and Wall Street know it's a waste of precious $$'s to put out an extravagant report. It winds up in the trash like the cheap ones. So why the money? - Otherwise, the numbers are impressive.
