DaiS, Absolutely excellent post! If this information is released on CNBC and the horns are trumpeted as they were with Entremed, then who knows where this stock can end up. Entremed went from 12 to over 80 on extremely ify news. Unlike Vivus, that company has no profit and no product already producing a profit. Vivus on the other hand has MUSE (which has hardly begun selling overseas), a better product Alibra which should be another good money maker, and now the promise of a product that would only require 6 injections per year. Now add the fact that Vivus has a heavy short interest and Viagra is on the ropes regarding safety issues. IMO those loading the boat at todays level (looks like we hit 5 1/4 again)will probably get real lucky if this news hits the wires big time. Lets face it, most of the public is ignorant and they will jump on this news just to make their quick buck and the shorts will finally get crushed as they deserve to be. VLAD PS Perhaps Charlie O. knew the importance of this news and this is why he sort of played dumb and asked about what is new at the last conference call. I think he actually was tipped off by Vivus regarding the importance of this news. Perhaps it will finally be the weapon that will give the short interest their worst nightmare!

>>Remember that here though, it is human cDNA that is used. If human DNA works in rats it will certainly be expected to work in humans.<< DaiS, Most rats I know have no ED problem, In fact the problem is NOT doing it alla time! Remember the fly? I am not quite sure if I would like any rat dna injected in me.. Well maybe if I get that desperate.. But then again all this is moot point anyway, If you are really hip you will geta virtual reality machine and plug yourself in, you dont need no stinkin stimulation or a heart attack.
