On July 16, Vivus' stock price got cut in half when its new weight loss drug, Qnexa, was rejected by a count of 9-7 by an FDA panel. I said you could buy it because it has a descent pipeline, including an ED drug in Phase III testing. Also they have several investigational product candidates in late stages of clinical development. I said you could buy at 5.20/share and look for about a 10% bounce. Initially, the stock continued to sell off, but we got the bounce we were looking for. It reached a high of 6.04/share on July 22. I called it quits on this stock this morning at the open at 5.75/share. No reason in staying in this volatile stock any longer, we got the 10% bounce.
