Vlad...I've realized for a while that this will take a long time. We should be in much shape later.....my target is July.

I was asked via PM to remind all in this for the long run to call your broker and REQUEST YOUR CERTIFICATES. If you are a new investor who is going to take a buy and hold attitude then I suggest doing the same ie request your certificates and put them away looking to the second 1/2 of 1999 for returning them.

VLAD, I certainly am not selling at these prices either, but I have to say, I am not sure why you consider this to be a rediculous price for the stock given its current condition. Stocks trade based upon their future earnings potential, unless of course they pay a huge dividend, which of course vvus doesn't. 1 At this point we have a huge loss for '98 after a spectacular year in '97. The stock is going the wrong way. 2. The ceo has come out and said being profitable in the first half of '99 is going to be a challeng. 3. Domestic scripts have been flat at a miserable clip domestically and they have done nothing to remedy that. 4. They missed their deadline with a domestic partner. That just added to their reputation of being untrustworthy. They can turn things around, but until something happens, I don't know why anyone would pay more for this stock. Just my 2 cents, Colby
