<<The VLAD thinks the Vivus board would be very WISE to announce a stock buy back. I think such an announcement would be a major nail into the short interest's coffins.>> VLAD, Such an attempt to manipulate the share price would trigger an SEC investigation without a doubt. For the company to do this would be not be wise IMHO. It would also be bad business, the rule for buying back your stock is that it is the right thing to do when your stock is the best place you can find to invest your extra cash. They just need to rebuild the business, if they do that the share price and the shorts will take care of themselves. Without more money for lawyers. Zebra
