GUMM - very unique market GUMM is a niche company. Its the leader in 'functional' chewing gums. Gums that have a purpose to deliver a specific ingredient such as an OTC medication, a dietary supplement, an herbal supplement, etc, and maybe some day a prescription drug. Many LARGE companies are coming to GUMM. That's pretty good when big business seek you out. All GUMM has to do is formulate the specs and package. No advertising or marketing expenses. This change in business strategy in the last 6 months has turned their financials around, tremendously. And these big companies like what they get and keep coming back requesting new gums! GUMM said they are working on a Nicorette Gum for national and international distribution. This will be a 'biggie' announcement and will add several dollars to the share price and be a significant revenue generator. GUMM is a small company, small shares outstanding, and any little improvement in revenues is readily shown in the earnings. Those who followed KIDE in the last 6 months, I think GUMM is going act similarly. Particularly because there is a very small float held by long term investors and the financials are improving by leaps and bounds. THIS STOCK IS NOT FOR DAYTRADERS. A small investment hidden away in the portfolio to look upon next year is probably adequate. I just recieved in the mail a very nice packet to prepare shareholders for the meeting on Aug 11. Very impressive. What did you think? Functional chewing gums may not have the daytrader interest fostered in tech and internet stocks, but for a small investors looking for something hidden away from volatility, its definately a niche market that is growing, and GUMM is the leader. bo Dan's projections for the next 6 months, and next year: Message 9551419
