<< Here is what happens...Alza aquires Vivus in a stock swap which yields roughly $22/share for vivus holders.....then JNJ buys ALZA..>> Assume your senario occurred today. If the $22/share price was offered, what would happen to all those shorts trying to buy back their shares ? Would the listed price for Vivus on the NASD temporarily shoot above $22/share or would the price hold regardless of what the shorts did ? I would be interested in any insight. DAVID
