I'm still in a margin account @ schwab. That's how I bought my last 1,000.

VLAD, I just directed my broker to ship me the shares I just bought ( and the ones I had from before ). There will be a $15 fee. Processing time is ~10 days. My stock won't be able to be loaned out at Merrill for shorting as of next Mon.

All your pissing and moaning(Edderd's terminology) and how many of youhave called in your stock certificates??? Out the individuals representing at least 2 million shares that I have communicated with I doubt that 5% of you have done so. Why? 2 reasons: 1)Laziness. Well its TIME TO MOVE YOUR LAZY BUTTS AND PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL IN THOSE SHARES!!!! 2)Some have had the concern that if they call in their shares it would take a protracted amount of time to give the certificates back and sell them if Vivus makes a decent run. Well remember, if you live near your broker you can give back the certificates in an hour or less and if you don't you can fed ex them back in less than 24 hours. So wake up longs and call in your certificates if you really want to see what an ugly bloody short squeeze looks like! JUST DO IT!!!!
