Eight-year-old Vivus disclosed the patent as holds negotiations that could result in the company selling itself or signing an agreement with a big drugmaker to market Vivus's main product, the impotence treatment Muse. The drug's sales and Vivus shares tumbled last year after Pfizer Inc. introduced Viagra in one of the most successful new drug launches to date.

My prophesy from 8/98:

"- Shorters have won many battles but not the war
- Until the WSJ reports a short interest of less than 500,000 shares, the game isn't over.
- Here's one possible scenario:
a. 3rd 1/4 return to profitability
b. Marketing Partner in US - to radically cut costs - and add further profits
c. Short Covering & Institutional Buying, i.e. Paine Weber
- And stock price does a KTEL. -- who knows?"
