tim,
he is just following the lead from cnbc today. geez did they put a negitive spin or what? joe mentioned ineffectiveness of product and some earnings revised downward to loss of 45cents also the new scrits down over 70%. no mention of the positive side of the equation, the european study for efficacy, the pill format, safety feature. guess i am a little testy today.

Jim,

I commend you on your ability to withstand the agony that this company has bestowed on us.
Hell on earth is owning Vivus.
Perhaps these studies were flawed, but if they were, why haven't those inept bastards responded. Leland should have had investigators research these reports and responded aggressively.
No comment, leads one to believe that the studies are valid.

This limp dick management couldn't manage a lemonade stand.
Oust the as*holes, Nina included.

You are paranoid. Why would I want to influence anyone. There are 13 million shares short. I read a release that says 27% effective. I have as yet not tried MUSE so I cannot say one way or the other. The stock is trading smartly in the seven dollar range. y opinion if there was not this huge short position than the stock would be a lot lower. Good Luck
