Gentlemen (and E'Lane),

Quit trying to expect a straight line run up to the 20's cause it aint gonna happen. Those buying in at the 5 13/16 to 8 range are anxious to pocket some quick profits. The real picture should be clear in one day--if the news is real good then we very well may see a rapid move to the upside. If the news is so so then you can expect some sort of basing pattern with script data and any unit sales info provided on international sales to determine future price direction. One ace in the hole is Viagra--if it gets pulled then you can expect a run to 20+ on such news but don't hold ye breath. Sadly, a continued uptrend in the Viagra body count should also help as more and more will not believe the bs spewed by PFE and the FDA. A nice BIG FAT class action lawsuit directed at Pfizer will also help and it will happen in the not so far future.

Despite Q2 earnings, an alliance with a strong domestic partner can also give us a nice hard run to the upside. The more Vivus concentrates on R&D and MUSE production the better for the stock price. Vivus needs to leave the marketing and sales part to someone who knows what they are doing.
