Vlad, I did take my own advise I've been trading VVUS for weeks now taking a little here a little there buying lower and selling higher As I said before I'm looking to buy lower this afternoon. If it doesn't happen then I'll sell higher.

Brent, The shorts ARE the enemy because they create extremes in price--in our case extremes to the down side. I doubt if but 20% of the individuals who own Vivus stock read the internet and know exactly what is going on at Vivus and the science behind ED. It is a simpleton's mentality. Like Joe Kernan said last year when he discussed the fact that Vivus was a stock under heavy attack by the shorts. He said something along the lines of [Think about it....pill...suppository.....pill......suppository......seems pretty clear what the patient would choose]. It is this very mentality that has hurt Vivus the most because the fear of the long over rode the fact of the science thus selling at a low price into the short's cover. The whole ball of Vivus wax is more of a psychological chess game but in the end science and fact not hype(Viagra) and misconception(MUSE/ALibra) will rule. It will all come out in the wash. It's just a question of time.
