Zinulose is not Coldeeze ----- Future Financials

I can tell you are not a scientist, nor someone who can analyze forward looking fundamentals.

You are looking at past financials. This is a new product. Can't you do Forward looking Fincancials? You are also Short and there are more LONGS than Shorts. You have a big battle on your hands in the long term.

How __BIG___is__ZICAM ? ___answer

>>>>>>>We can no longer look at GUMM FUNDAMENTALS historically. Their
financials and Market Cap need to be viewed
with PROJECTIONS of the future, based on ZICAM.

Common Colds is a huge industry. Its an extremely lucrative
industy. There are 1 Billion Colds in the US.
ZICAM is the VERY BEST PRODUCT for this
industry. This is a proprietary product. zicam.com

[info from a local pharmacist]
ZICAM costs the consumer around $12.50
He said the standard mark-up is 100%
So the store is buying it from GUMM at around $6.
Profit margins on solution type products are between 70%-85%

Lets assume 70% profit margin -conservative-
that means GUMM makes about $4 per sale !

GUMM will be rolling in the money. <<<<<<
