Well things can go one of two ways. Now if we could predict which way, we sure would not be posting on a forum. Cause I would be on a beach some where enjoing my new found freedom. What people say here is just that, What they fell. Now in the short term you can push things a little either way and if you are on the right side you also profit by it. I am not even sure why you are on this forum posting, your answers definetly dont ring with the forum topic or sentiment and no matter what they are, they are just an opinion. Make enough of them and you are bound to be right some of the time. And this goes for everyone including brad and mike, Heck if I was as sure as these guys about VVUS seeing 3, I would sell the house and go short. I dont see the stock going to 15, neither do I see it going to 3. And I posted that and the reasons when the stock was at 8. Now if I knew WHEN it was going to my ranges I would be rich too.. But that is why I post so I can learn what others think the time frames will be. Just knowing the ranges costs me quite a bit of money last year by being wrong a month, Just getting that one month right and I would be retired now.

Vlad: What I meant was that the br0kerage houses still seem to be calling for a slight 3rd quarter profit. When you read the 10k, I think one can reasonably argue there may well be, according to the company itself, no profit in either of these quarters. That, if true, would, I believe, call for a significant drop in the current price of the stock. Even the email somebody referred to as coming from management does not say they will be profitable in either quarter. Last time the stock nose dived, they had recently come out with news releases. Some posters maintained that if one carefully read these, one could have seen what was going to happen. Mike
