>>Other than complain that the FDA should not have fast track approved Viagra and PFE should have included a more "at risk" pool in their studies, does this group have much political leverage in Washington?<< How well do you know of the deaths related to the vietnam protests and blockade of manhatten island? Ofcourse they werent americans, they were protestors and traitors. Does it even exists? And everyone makes such a big deal of the the chinese schwazan beef masacare where people were run over by tanks. The US is much neater, they just shoot you. When people go against big money, money always wins, ofcourse depends on whos money, when the tobacco related health problems became more than what the industry was paying them guess who won.

Here is a summary of the VVUS price action and milestones for your background: BigKNY3 Date.......Shares.......High....Low..........Close 07/02/98..642,000.......6 ......5 3/4.......5 13/16 07/06/98..1,827,500.....7 1/4...5 13/16.....6 7/8 07/07/98..8,244,600.....10......7 3/4.......10 07/08/98..5,190,900.....10 1/4...8 1/2......9 3/16 07/09/98..3,272,200.....8 13/16...7 5/8.....7 3/4 07/10/98..5,875,200.....6 15/16...6 1/4 .....6 1/2 Monday: VVUS raises on heavy volume on no news and flat Rxs Tuesday: Paine Webber ( a market maker for VVUS) issues an upgrade to buy from neutral. www3.techstocks.com 1. We are raising our rating on the shares of Vivus* to buy from neutral, reflecting what we believe to be the beginnings of a turn in new prescriptions and recent FDA approval for domestic shipments from its new 90,000 square-foot manufacturing facility. 2. Moreover, we sense that the company may be on the verge of announcing plans to dramatically reduce costs and even restructure its sales organization. 3. If domestic demand rebounds as we are forecasting and costs trend lower, we believe that Vivus can deliver earnings per share of $1.00 next year. Were this dramatic a turnaround to occur, VVUS could, we think, reach $20 within a year. Wednesday (After the close): VVUS issues restructuring press release Thursday(After the close): VVUS issues earnings report and conducts conference call.
