>The biggest risk is that they will fail with both Zicam and nicotine gum

Dan,

With regards to Zicam, my understanding is that the upcoming cold season [only a few weeks away] will be the **FIRST** cold season to take place with substantial amounts of Zicam available in retail stores. It seems to me that regardless of what future studies might indicate, the "acid test" of Zicam will take place on the open market in short few weeks when people predictably will demand cold relief.

To the extent Zicam works when squirted up people's noses, the market will soon reflect sales of Zicam. Therefore, now might be one of the the "last best chances" for investors to place their bets on Zicam [and GUMM] before Zicam sales data begins to trickle in.

BTW, shortly after my last post I placed a personal buy order for 600 GUMM at 11 3/4. My order is showing "pending" right now. So I'm not sure whether the order got filled or not.

GUMM...MarketEdge changed its rating on GUMM. GUMM is no longer simply a "Strong Buy". As of today the rating says..."Strong Buy; Stock is Oversold; Good Entry Point". That's as good as it gets for a MarketEdge stock rating. I rarely see such a rating. Might be a good time to pick up some more GUMM, IMO.
