<<Jack, that is a very narrow view. Do some homework and get back to us
with some real analysis.>>

Jack:
First let me say that many of us enjoy your posts. And somehow I missed where Tim Gardner was put in charge of this thread. If he is the thread CEO, then I guess you're history - So long.

But if you step back and look at what is really going on here, I think you will see alot of sour grapes, sniping at one another and just plain wishful thinking.

Yes one might deduct that Viagra's success will translate into increased business for Vivus. But folks, we're dealing with the stockmarket here and very often, 2nd place ain't so good. If VVUS were a very well managed company, I suspect we would see their stock at the $100+ level today, rather than drifting around 10, a recent drop of 75%.

Jack, thank you for your informative posts even though not everyone agrees with them. You're welcome here, at least until Tim is promoted.

Keep up the good work!

Dad (just kidding) Chip

Tim,
I don't have to do the homework...Its reflected in the stock price.
Hell, we have ZONA setting at 35 a share and they don't even have
a approved product. If VVUS is so great why have the shorts
made so much money. If VVUS is so great why all the class action
suits. You people love to take about the positives but you
sure cannot deal with the negatives can you. If you would like
you can turn this post into Jill. Have a good day TIMMY. JG
