After the short only three-day recovery, this Friday VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ:VVUS, VVUS message board) stock returned back 0.52% again on a below the average volume.Investors; worries about the future stock performance seem greater than their worries about the future of the company's obesity drug, laying thus the turmoil in the last trading sessions.
The side effects of the stock alerts and the hot discussions on "Qnexa" drug and VVUS shares crash made the last VVUS stock promotion almost useless.
Two days after the first stock promotion, the pills for weight gain granted by a stock promoter finally succeeded to add value to VVUS stock.
Even more, after VVUS 10.81% jumping up last Wednesday, the stock was spelled in the list of Nasdaq stocks, posting the largest percentage increases. In addition to stock alerts creating side effects, on that day 38.3% of the total volume belonged to shorters.
The second disclosure about VVUS stock promotion is for the last Thursday. This time, the promoter announced duly that he owns 1,000 VVUS shares at an average price of $5.23.
If two days were the time needed by VVUS stock to wake up during the first promotion, it can be expected that today, being the second day of promotion, "The Sandman" may succeed to pull VVUS shares up.
This Friday, the promoter The Sandman was not able to do it. VVUS stock was then rather asleep.
At the same time, the announced in stock marketing letters as a gainer VVUS's competitor Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc (ARNA) rose 11.09% on a heavy volume.
In some of the stock alerts ARNA stock was promoted as a winning hand, versus VVUS, VVUS message board "the tantalizing but failure-laden arena for obesity drugs after U.S. health advisers voted against Vivus Inc`s (VVUS.O) Qnexa.".
All these dramatic events happened on the background of no news by the company.
