Bengalus,

I agree with parts of what you wrote but found the following statement somewhat hypocritical.

"If you don't know the details of their study results (not just the hype they spew out in a press release), then you've got no idea what you're investing in."

By your own admission, you don't know if Zicam will work and you don't know anything about the doctors who developed it. Therefore, one could turn around your logic and say that you are "stupid" for shorting the stock before you know the answers to these two questions. Let's face it: You are speculating that the product won't work and that the two doctors will be shown to be quacks. Longs are speculating that Zicam works and the two doctors have done their DD and will be found to be respectable. So I guess we are both "stupid" huh?

By the way, I read on the zicam web site that Drs. Hensley and Davidson are preparing a manuscript on Zicam. It doesn't say when it will be released but hopefully they will be finished with it soon and they have documented their research in such a manner that will be accepted by the medical community.

PS to pz: Thanks for the feedback. This reminded me about CNXS too.
