alien, IMO, if there is one biotech stock that has great potential to make a serious comeback over the next 6 months, Vivus is my top dog. Not because I have been a diehard long but because IMO the environment is ripe for a turn around. We are talking about a real product in a hot market and a company that has burned through a good percentage of its cash completing a new efficient factory. The product works and the market is there and MUSE has not even been fully launched to 1/8 of the world's population. The Asians will love this product and that is where most of the demand will end up. So far S Korea is the only Asian country where MUSE is approved. Alibra will be a much hotter product than MUSE. Viagra will not be as hot in other countries as it was in the US since tons of it have already poured out into the black markets of the world by unethical pharmacists and doctors.

alien, I know you follow companies such as APM and maybe even KMAG. Look at these companies losses over the past 3 quarters. They are heavily into debt and bankruptcy is a very serious possibility. Their future outlook in the next 6 months is less than positive yet APM manages to trade in th 5 to 6 1/2 range. Vivus on the other hand had only one terrible quarter, has no debt and is in a hot market and the short term future looks good. Now don't tell me that it is not a manipulated stock when it trades below 5 and is at an all time low.
