<<Poor management has been killing this company and will ultimately be Vivus' epitaph.>> That's very poetic. Although I disagree about where VVUS will end up, I sure like they way you put it. Are you thinking something like.., "VVUS: here lie one s--tty managment team" Or perhaps "VVUS, at least we are hard now." I don't like the ramifications, but I do like the way it sounds. Making the best of a not so happy place, Colby

Brad, l certainly can't argue your predictions thus far, but I'm thinking 0 is a little far fetched. Even if VVUS were stop competing in the US market altogether, they would probably still be able to be profitable, especially with somebody else doing there marketing. All of VVUS's blunders have been because of their US operations. Internationally, all they have to do is produce, which, thus far, I think they have done well. I am not saying I want this scenario, but my point is even without the US they still have something. Just some food for thought, Colby
