I think you're seeing a change in how VVUS is perceived and traded by the market in the last couple of weeks. Everyone who has followed Vivus or even reads this board periodically knew that the milestone payment was coming yet it is still driving the stock up today. In my mind this was non-news, but, because of the stock action I think we can safely assume that the perception of this stock has changed from being hands off to being a tradeable equity. We're back on the radar of the momentum players. While this isn't necessarily a good thing most of the time, I believe that it is in this case. The higher volume and strong moves up will provide a little incentive for other investors to come over and find us. I'm hoping we're really seeing a fundamental change in how VVUS is perceived by investors in general. I think we are. Gary
