Is this you jack? I LOVE YOUR IDEA LOUIS!!!! longVivus Aug 16 1998 12:40AM EDT I HAVE BEEN LONG IN THIS STOCK FOR OVER ONE YEAR NOW. I BOUGHT IN ABOVE 20 (10,000 SHARES) AND IN ALL OF MY 25 YEARS OF INVESTING HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOVED IN SUCH A MANIPULATED STOCK. MUCH OF THE SHORT ACTIVITY HAS BEEN FROM THOSE WITH MUCH MONEY IN PFIZER. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE LIES AND BULLSHIT THE SHORTERS HAVE PRODUCED TO DESTROY THIS SMALL COMPANY. I LOVE YOUR IDEA ABOUT CALLING ALL OF OUR LOCAL PHARMACIES AND ASKING THEM TO HAVE MUSE IN STOCK FOR US BUT A FEW SUGGESTIONS: DON'T EVEN BOTHER ASKING FOR THE LOWER 2 DOSES SINCE VERY LITTLE OF IT IS SOLD AND VIVUS DOES NOT MANUFACTURE MUCH OF IT ANYWAY. I SUGGEST CALLING AND ASKING THE PHARMACIST IF THEY HAVE THE 500UCG ANF 1000UCG DOSES IN STOCK. IF THEY SAY NO THEN ASK THEM TO ORDER IT FOR YOU. MANY PHARMACIES DON'T EVEN CARRY MUSE SINCE IT IS NOT A COMMONLY PRESCRIBED PRODUCT. I THINK IT IS TIME TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE AGAINST THE EVIL SHORTS. AS YOU SAID THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT CALLING OUR PHARMACIES AND ASKING THEM TO STOCK A DRUG IN THEIR INVENTORIES. I LIKE YOUR IDEA SO MUCH THAT I HAVE A GOAL TOMORROW TO CALL ALL THE PHARMACIES IN MY AREA TO ASK IF THEY CAN STOCK BOTH THE 500 AND 1000UCG DOSES OF MUSE. I HAVE ABOUT 5 WALGREENS, 4 EKERDS, 2 WALMARTS, 2 KMARTS, 2 TARGETS, AND 5 GROCERY STORE PHARMACIES IN MY AREA. I WILL CALL THEM ALL AND MAKE SURE THEY STOCK MUSE IN THE 500 AND 100O DOSES. IF THEY SAY THEY DON'T I WILL TELL THEM THAT MY FATHER IS AN ED MUSE PATIENT (HE REALLY IS) WHO IS MOVING FROM ANOTHER STATE TO BE NEAR ME AND I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT A LOCAL PHARMACY IS CARRYING MUSE FOR HIM. THIS IS A FAIR WAY TO GET SOME DOMESTIC PIPELINES FILLED WITH MUSE AND SINCE VIVUS BOOKS PROFITS WHEN PRODUCT IS SHIPPED, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER THAT I DON'T INTEND TO BUY FROM EVERY PHARMACY I CALL. I HAVE BEEN TROUBLED AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE PRICE OF VIVUS STOCK AND HOW THE SHORT INTEREST HAS MANIPULATED MY STOCKS PRICE TO 1/3 TO 1/4 OF FAIR VALUE. IF ANYBODY READING HERE IS LONG VIVUS STOCK AND FEELING MY FRUSTRATION THEN I SUGGEST THAT YOU DO YOUR SMALL PART IN HELPING OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LOCAL PHARMACIES ARE STOCKED WITH AT LEAST ONE BOX OF 500 AND 100UCG OF MUSE. IT IS THE VERY LEAST YOU CAN DO TO HELP OUT OUR CAUSE AND PUT THOSE NASTY EVIL SHORTS BACK INTO HELL WHERE THEY BELONG.

blankmind, After just reading yahoo I think you may have started an avalanch of disgruntled Vivus shareholders calling pharmacies and asking them to have MUSE in stock. I guess somebody just refined your idea to a easier level. This way they don't have to spend money on MUSE, just some time making a lot of phone calls. Maybe if the Viagra failures really start seeking alternatives such as MUSE it will be a good thing ie they don't have to wonder if their local pharmacy is carrying it.
