>>geez we are at the ole 52 week low. if july 9 conf. doesn't hold some good info then we are going to get clobbered again. << Hey if they dont say anything, then they wont have to say anything again. I knew APM and VVUS had some kind of blood relations working in the same place. Hopefully the smart management of both companies didnt put all their money into their own stocks knowing themselves.

gw, I guess that we know that international sales will do well. We also know that we will see a loss (First call consensus -.29) in Q2. Question is what do the institutions want to hear regarding domestic sales/marketing. I don't think the rental sales force was a bad idea--I don't think even a relationship with a big player would have mattered on the effect of the Viagra craze. I think the institutions would rather hear that a big brand name player is involved but I don't know that it will really effect the domestic script numbers. The Viagra craze is starting to settle and now with the safety issues alone we may see a natural rebound of script numbers. As I said before if the new scripts go up over 4,000 by months end, everything will end up fine. I think we will achieve those numbers without much problem.

<< if july 9 conf. doesn't hold some good info then we are going to get clobbered again. >> Thank you sir, may I have another! Actually, I think the current prices reflect a foward looking negative sentiment. As long as they don't say anything negative, I think the stock price will stay firm. It is not as if this stock is running up in anticipation of good news. I sure hope any part of what VLAD says comes true. I'll take upgrades, marketing partners, undersupply for Europe, 25 country approvals, milestone payments, Viagra being pulled, a beautiful blond...oh, sorry, I digress. Obviously, the Europe demand, domestic marketing, and new country approvals are the important ones because they will determine the future of VVUS. The upgrade will only affect stock price. Only one week to go, Colby
