<<I'd love to see VVUS make it on it's own merits. I'd like to see the company make this a $20 stock without another company buying them out. There is so much positive and so much potential to this company. Yes, there are negatives, but they are not with the product>> E'lane, I agree in almost full. Unfortunately, there are two factors keeping VVUS down. One is management, which we are all aware of. The other is the size of VVUS. Even with better mngmt., I think it would be very difficult for VVUS to compete with PFE. Keep in mind, PFE hasn't even launched its add campaign yet, which is going to be huge. It is for this reason, I question VVUS's future without a bigger partner. As much as I would also love to see VVUS survive on its own, I don't think it is realistic (if it is, it is so far off, I don't think I want to wait). Q3 should be interesting, Colby
