"The fact that a study was published in a major medical journal on the same subject (common cold), that had only 100 patients, proves that the results are statistically significant..." I see. So what you're saying is that a test population of 100 people is even MORE significant than a test involving only 200 people simply because it was published in a journal? I guess this is a new statistical method I've never heard about. Just think, if GUMM had tested Zicam on only 2 or 3 people, they could have had that NEJM article out by now and then some. Maybe even be up for a Nobel prize. Shill characteristic #5- When all else fails, make wildly ludicrous claims in order to back your position. " Selling for spite doesn't usually have good results in the stock market." Who's selling for spite? What would you know about good results in the stock market when you buy stocks like GUMM? Shill characteristic #6- Always profess to be an excellent stock picker. When confronting a short, always insist that you bought at the bottom and have already made a bundle of cash whether or not the stock continues to rise. If the stock crashes, insist that you secretly sold at the top and got out with a huge profit.
