Cameron,

The fact that the article is over seven months old is exactly the point. The clinical study was supposed to have been finished by October 99. Even allowing for a month of normal delays, the only possible conclusion is that the results have been submitted for publication. We are still waiting for the results of the three studies discussed in the press release, i.e., "confirming ZICAM(TM)'s ability to significantly reduce the duration of the common cold; exploring ZICAM(TM)'s ability to act as a preventive measure against the common cold and its symptoms; and testing ZICAM(TM)'s ability to relieve symptoms caused by allergic reactions to common airborne allergens."

Gum Tech doesn't have any control over a journal's schedule, and I think that investors will wake up one day to news that one or more of these studies will be published. GUMM could easily react the same way that VPHM did when they got so much publicity a few weeks ago. We already have two positive clinical results, and Gum Tech would have a duty to tell shareholders if either of the other three studies came back negative. Since they haven't done that, I think it's reasonable to speculate that the results ARE positive and HAVE been submitted for publication.

PS to hank: You need to look up the definition of "about". The difference between a 63% gain and a 70% gain on a $22 stock is only about 3/4 of a point. As of the Feb 26 status, GUMM was up exactly 70%. I'm not sure how you expect people to take you seriously when you act like such a close minded, immature brat.
