E'lane, you are right about the the way time flies (or the opposite) around here. I have been trying not to pay too much daily attention to VVUS, aside from watching for news. At this point, it is pointless. It's like that Greek guy (I can't think of his name) who's punishment was to push the boulder up the hill only to watch it roll down again. I think I'll wait until I (or in this case, VVUS) rig a device to hold the boulder up there so I don't waste my time. Watching this day to day is like stabbing yourself in the stomach, pushing the knife in a milimeter each day. I'd rather take a rest for a few days and just stick it in a couple of inches, or perhaps, if we get lucky, somebody will take the knife from us and pay us a little bit to do so (a refernce to a buyout). If you are in for the long run like I am and have been, I'm sorry... wait, no, that's not what I meant to say. I meant to say, these day to day fluctuations don't matter. For those of you wishing for a buyout tomorrow, these things take time, so be patient. Worse comes to worse, you lose everything you invested in this stock and have to tell your friends who lost everything you are sorry and will help subsidise their income and pay for their kid's schooling. Not to mention you have to live with the ridicule from "I told you soers" for eternity. But think on the bright side, people like E'lane, VLAD, Mike, Betty, Dais, Edderd, Zebra, Sailor, Martin, JR.and the others are right there with ya! I'd rather sink on a dingy with these people than party on a yacht with anyone else. (Do I really mean that?) R-R-R-ose, p-p-promise me you won't d-d-d-ie here. P-p-p-promise m-m--m-m-e, R-R-R-rose. Jack

Good Evening to my VVUS "family"! It has now been over 50 hours since the suggestion that we take the weekend off and give ourselves time for happiness. In that time there have only been 35 posts! I am so proud of us!!! VLAD, MK, Colby, Jack (jr), RT....I don't know if it is coincidence or not but whatever, I thank you all ! A challenge was thrown out by BigKNY and you chose to ignore it for the weekend. Now, it is Sunday evening and I know you are chomping at the bit to start with the Monday morning speculations...and that is fair, so have at it. I guess there is no need to remove the VVUS bookmark after all. Thanks guys! I hope that happiness set in for you all and that it carries over into your week! Love, E'Lane <gg>
