I have no personal experience and have not spoken to anyone who has visited a "Spa Thira".

Nat West Securities publishes a "Thermo Handbook" annually, the latest being January 1997. WRT Thermolase, they state that TLZ shares are best-suited for aggressive and long-term oriented accounts interested in emerging growth stocks. They have an "accumulate" rating on the stock and a target price of $30.

I have seen past research reports which refer to "permanent" hair removal. I have always been skeptical of this term because I know a good company lawyer would not let that term be used. Without clinical efficacy studies and FDA approval, a good lawyer would strongly discourage any Thermo employee from using that word with respect to their product. "Long term" is the preferred phrase and then one can debate the definition of long term. 6 months? Or the IRS definition...greater than one year?

I am still unsure of NatWest's and TLZ's definition of "long term". To confuse the matter more, what part of the human body is everyone referring to? Which hair is the most resilient? Leg hair? The mustache hair? Back hair? Bikini line hair?

I think the Nat West report is fair in its discussion of TLZ's business and I agree with the recent contributions to this thread regarding TLZ being a speculative stock. I still own plenty of shares and have no intention of selling this year. I am not aware of any other company with the capital resources to launch a retail business and retail is where the real profits are. If TLZ can eventually provide hair free skin for 1+ years, they'll have a network set up to meet demand.
