BK, <<This is an excellent example of why an investor should not make decisions based on rumors and "reliable" unnamed sources that are posted on Internet Investment Boards.>> Maybe I'm way off but, actually, I am amazed at the number of pieces of pre-release info that turned out to be true: 1.) VVUS posting >= +0.02 for 4th quarter '98 2.) Germany milestone 3.) Insider buying (although probably not as big as expected). Future rumor info to be confirmed: 1.) Japanese marketing partner 2.) Vivus has purchased new drug rights Anyone who buys solely on internet rumor deserves what they get. I think this board is actually pretty good compared with the utter nonsense posted on other boards. My pet peeve is when people start predicting "the stock will double tomorrow and double the next day...AND WE'LL ALL BE RICH!" Give me good old slow upward movement with spikes here and there.
