does anyone know about the buyout bid between these two companies that I copied from Aol motley fool Vivus thread? >>>. Subject: Astra & JNJ buy out?? Date: Mon, May 25, 1998 20:46 EDT From: PizzaBoli Message-id: <1998052600463900.UAA18925@ladder01.news.aol.com> The rumor mill is a little stronger now. Astra and JNJ are supposedly in a bidding war to buy VVUS. THis time it may have teeth as the latest Viagra news has probably kick started further action towards completing a deal. THIs may be why we had 5 million shares trade on Friday and not the news from Viagra. Obiviously this is speculation but not really far fetched.. Pizzaman <<<<< additional comment: Johnson and Johnson subsdiary had sponsored the seminar of Muse in the Philippines... see previous post of mine about the article... so JNJ has the upper hand on the bid?? **Off topic** to E'lane...Dec. 1997 pp. 123?? hmmmm.....
