jack, A buy out would be nice but only if Vivus can get a "reasonable" price. As I have said before, the company is taking a longer term view at a world wide market. A year from now you will be glad that they did not allow a buy out. If you believe that they will be bought out at a price near your entry point of $23.00/share then that is fine--I will believe it when I see it. If I were Wilson I would readily accept any offer above $20.00/share but if I owned as many shares as he does I would be glad to wait another year than accept a price below 20. You will disagree today but agree 6 months from now as the perception of the company's ability to generate income changes.
