Why do you want to buy something so far out of the money? There is a very good chance of VVUS getting bought out for 12 than for 18. The DEC 10's would be a much better buy than the 15's, aleast if the stock goes up a few points you can make a double on it.

Detail rep is the sales person who details(explains and answers questions) about the product(s) he/she sells.

Don't ask me about options cause I know little about effectively playing them. I believe that if Vivus is sold it will be an all stock deal. This would allow a much more favorable deal than cash. I doubt Vivus would sell out for only $12.00/share and they probably would be reluctant to sell for even $15.00/share. I think they will either partner up and remain independent or sell out if the price is right. In a stock swap they can probably get $20.00/share and maybe a bit more. Just my opinion.
