<<Who has the list from before?>> That was blankmind who was organizing the share holders move to put Vivus on the auction block for $40.00/share. If I remember correctly one problem he had was all the traders buying and selling and then trying to figure out who was in and who was out. That's why I decided to make those minimal ground rules that I listed earlier.

Alien, **OT** Have you been watching KMAG lately? Hit another new short term high today ar $14.00. Now I know that its not a biotech stock but look at the fundamentals: Including write downs a 12 month trailing loss of $6.53/share Q4(December '98) estimates for a 41 cent loss 1999 FY estimates of ONE PENNY! 53.4M shares outstanding Is in default on a $260,000,000.00 loan. Is in a "hurting" sector thanks to intense Asian competition. In essence is a "one trick" pony. Now look at the trading over the past 3 months: Has gone from a $2.00/share on October 9th to $14.00/share today. That is a 600% appreciation in only one quarter. Notice that all the great analyst upgrades came after the stock made most of its rapid short term grades (Goldman at $9.00 and Montgomery at $11.00). Now this is no internut stock. Shows you what a stock can do when it gets a little institutional support. Crazy market!
