This was released by Bloomberg this am: biospace.com Note the part by Wilson: Vivus had previously expected to report $2 million of that revenue in the first quarter and $2 million in the second quarter, company Chief Executive Leland Wilson said in an interview yesterday. Wilson said he doesn't expect the full-year results to be different than he has previously indicated. Does the VLAD suffer from memory loss or is Mr Wilson playing Bill Gates?

Mark, FWIW this is the first time Vivus closed above 5 since August 20, 1998 or about 8 MONTHS AGO!!! I'm impressed with all the $$$ the shorts threw at us today. Let's just wait for our CFO to pull a few more rabbits out of the Vivus hat during this quarter. Also let's pray that Vivus IR knows how to disseminate the good news effectively and with proper timing. It's still a long way to 20 but me thinks we can get there fairly quick if the Vivus management team plays their cards "right".
