Next 2 weeks should be interesting. Looking for: - Spain milestone - Japan partnership (VLAD any more rumors on this? Or is it going to turn out to be just a rumor?) - Italy milestone Hoping we get a run-up pre-earnings/CC to 4.5 - 5 range, otherwise I think we are going to have a blah CC and stagnate for a while longer. With the AstraZeneca merger complete, IMHO, there are NO more excuses for USA partnership delay. In true NFL draft day fashion I say: "Vivus is now on the clock, you have 60 days to make your selection!" I will lose faith if no one is signed within 60 days. BTW VLAD (or anyone), concerning the Femme creme? Do you have any idea when those questions may be answered? Within 3-6 months?

Interesting facts to note: In 1998 the NASDAQ composite gained 39%. If we removed Microsoft the gain was only 23%. If we removed the gains seen in 4 other bell weather stocks we would have actually realized a 7% LOSS. I believe those 4 other stocks were Intel, Cisco, Dell and Worldcom. It has not been a good 3 to 4 years for most of the small cap stocks. As far as I'm concerned, sooner or later the various bubble stocks will burst and then (I hope) the market will diversify and expand into the small and mid caps. The internut stocks are beyond insanity. Anyone holding at these levels who gets caught in a gap down on any bad news deserves what he/she gets.
