Cowen & Co.’s Rob Stone this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of touch sensor technology maker Uni-Pixel (UNXL), writing that the 26% plunge in the shares Friday was “significantly overdone,” prompted, he thinks, by a product delay that doesn’t change the company’s fundamental advantages.

VVUS $14.50 - Rallied thru resistance

Looking at the chart yesterday, I was anticipating a big move and luckily it was to the upside.  Why the big movement?  Not really sure, not able to find much news.
 
- First Manhattan Company (FMC) added some heavyweight muscle on Thursday to its bid to shake up the board of drugmaker Vivus Inc(VVUS) by naming former Carl Icahn top lieutenant Alex Denner and two others to its slate of proposed nominees.
Vivus (VVUS) shares rose as much as 11 percent after First Manhattan, which has nearly a 10 percent stake in Vivus(VVUS), expanded its slate of proposed directors from six to nine, including Denner.
Denner, chief investment officer Sarissa Capital Management, has served on boards of biotechnology and other healthcare companies such as Biogen Idec(BIIB) and ImClone Systems, later bought by Eli Lilly and Co. Denner also is a founding partner of Sarissa, which owns about 2 percent of outstanding Vivus(VVUS) shares. Jumping into the Vivus(VVUS) proxy fight is one of his first public forays since starting his own fund.
"In every area that needs to be fixed we want to attract the highest quality human capital," Sam Colin, senior managing director at FMC and a board nominee, said in a telephone interview.
The other two nominees added to the FMC slate are Rolf Bass, who has an extensive European pharmaceutical regulatory background, and Mel Keating, who has expertise in corporate turnarounds.
Asked about the choice of Denner, Colin said, "What we wanted first and foremost was someone with Alex's track record."
"There is no one else like Alex Denner. He's not only incredibly intelligent, incredibly experienced, very thoughtful, he's easy to get along with and very helpful in contentious situations where people's emotions can get the better of them," Colin said.
Denner had been head of healthcare investments for billionaire investor Icahn, and a regular on many of Icahn's proposed director slates.
FMC, in a statement, called its slate of nominees a "clearly superior alternative to Vivus'(VVUS) current board of directors," adding that its nominees offer independence from management.
It has been agitating for change at Vivus(VVUS) since March over the company's disappointing handling of the launch of its diet drug Qsymia, which won U.S. approval in September. Even with Thursday's share gains, Vivus'(VVUS) stock is worth half of what it was last July.
Another top investor, QVT Financial LP, had previously publicly said that Vivus(VVUS) should be sold. Analysts and other investors have been calling on Vivus(VVUS) to find a pharmaceutical company partner with deep pockets and a large sales force to help get Qsymia off the ground.
Vivus (VVUS) reported Qsymia sales of only about $4 million in the first quarter.
"They've got the right asset and the fix is having the right people behind the asset," Colin said of Qsymia. "It should be a huge drug."
Vivus' (VVUS) board of directors is scheduled to be chosen at its annual shareholders meeting on July 15. Its shares closed up 7.2 percent at $14.50 and had climbed as high as $15.04 earlier

VVUS $13.52 - Very Important Day Today

If tomorrow VVUS is able to make another green bar, and start tapping the 14's we may see it really bust out.  Lots of resistance around 14, massive congestion area and every time it makes a run for 14 it gets denied.  Considering the way the market reversed today, tomorrow doesn't look promising, but the chart looks like its ready to spring into action.

VVUS $12.98

Trying to get over the hump at $13.00.  Had some negative news to the stock last week resulting in the drop.  Is it really bad news?  or just a reason to take profits.
