Zebra,

He is either a closet Vivophile or just a pesty fly at the Vivus picnic. I doubt he will come out of the closet if he has or takes a position in Vivus. But that's OK as I wouldn't expect him to be so bold.

Hi Zebra. I kinda like BigK posting what he (or she) thinks. This is one of the better threads on SI IMHO. It goes downhill when the price jumps too much in one day. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I'm looking for reasons for VVUS to decline substantially. I'm having difficulty finding any. Makes me somewhat nervous. The biggest "fly in the ointment" at present is lack of a US sales force. It's disappointing. Technically, it's beginning to behave like a normal stock. Betty Moyers made a good call last week when she stated that we would hold for a while, the volume would decline, and then we'd see an advance. Anyway, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I have learned not to get too excited about this one. Regards.

Dr. Z: Thanks for your comments!

Checking the recent high volume, VVUS has caught the attention of day traders. As a result, you can expect continued significant volatility.

PS: Not an "undead" investor, I still have not held any position in VVUS since January 1998.
