D. Right, I'm back in. Three things caught my attention:
1. Post trial usage - I don't know if we can verify this, but I don't
think it would be an outright lie. It seems plausible. The
implications of such usage are extremely positive.
2. Continued screening of metabolic compounds - This says they're in
it for the long haul. And they may be looking for other
applications. I remember reading that there was some weight loss in
those using the product. That can open up a whole new area.
3. Insider activity - Many people panic when they hear about insider
selling. But insiders sell for many reasons: financing a college
education, buying a house, or just realizing their salary (as stock is
often part of the compensation package). But insider buying is much
more significant. Insiders buy for only one reason; they believe they
will make a profit. The following is from Thomson Financial, which
is part of my Discover Brokerage service. If anyone has any info that
is more up to date, I would appreciate it.
