Vlad <<Although Invamed is not considered a brokerage powerhouse, they are well respected for their knowledge and research of the biotech industry. >> FYI, Invemed was involved in all three rounds of public financing for VVUS raising $106 million. Invemed was totally responsible for the first two rounds (1994) and co-managed the third round in 1996 with PaineWebber and Genesis Merchant Group. Invemed pioneered the concept of "private public" financing. That is, they place large blocks of publicly traded stock in the hands of a small number of investors ....who put the stock in a vault and don't trade the shares. Good luck! BigKNY3 PS: A short-term gut feel based on previous price trends: VVUS will break 7 before ever reaching 5 1/4.
