VVUS deserves to be in the doghouse. I guess L.Wilson will wait it out according to his plan and not ours. Remember, this is his stock, not ours. He knows we will not sell out at this point. He knows we will all hang in until the end. If I were an MM I would keep pushing this thing down as well. IMO.

VLAD: that's the reason I'm still buying. FWIW, IMHO, the most positive thing I gleaned from the conference call was the CFO getting nervous when somebody had a second question regarding a partner/sale. The CFO sounded nervous, and told whoever was running the show "next call." IMHO, wanted absolutely no questions regarding a partner. IMHO, that's a healthy sign. Announcing negotiations before finalizing a deal is a sign of gross ineptitude IMHO. Most firms on the street announce AFTER a deal is done, unless the media picks it up first. Not sure whether the CFO signing on is good or bad. He may have needed a job. As I've said before, the best thing about owning VVUS is it's entertainment value. The Yahoo thread is really humming. Don't post there anymore, but some of the posts are good for a few laughs. Have a GREAT Thursday. Regards.
