I wish I had more conviction about the ludicrousy of the stock price, but I don't. A good management could sell dog sh-t and make a fortune, but a lousy management couldn't get a nickel for a pound of gold. We all agree MUSE works, but the market has looked at our management team and said "these guys are bums". To date, I don't think they have accomplished anything they told us to expect, minus some country approvals, but I attribute that more to Muse than management. If my investment in VVUS wasn't worth a lousy ten cents, I don't think I would be in the stock, it's too risky. The market will not pony up until Lee and company show us they can do something right. Who is buying their B.S. about waiting for a better deal?. We have seen scripts soar (gg) above 4000 only to come back down. What exactly is going to give us the leverage to negotiate this better deal, black boxing viagra? Yeah, right. I say sign a deal, if there is one to be signed. Sometimes you need to recognize your position and work from there. I apoligize for the negativity, but today I was feeling a little pessimistic. For my own sanity, it is important for me to take a look at things from the other side of the rosy glasses. There is still hope for this company, but as Andreas said, it has to come from an outside force. I guess that is the event we are all hoping for. Oh, please come soon. Colby
