pz, I'm curious, is it your assertion that anyone with a position in a stock is not credible, or only those with short positions? You've said Zicam works, why should I believe you? After all, it seems that you're long. FWIW, I have no position in GUMM at this time, but I am more inclined toward the short than the long side. Regards, Barb

What's the matter? Can't take a little objective opinion? Yes, I said that and guess what? I never did short GUMM. On the other hand, I wouldn't go long GUMM either. I guess everybody is supposed to believe that Zicam works in every case just because YOU say so? By the way, my cold is still here. I'll admit that the symptoms don't seem to be as severe today as I would normally expect. However, I am not interested in the severity of the symptoms as much as I am the actual duration of the cold. I'm still looking for the end point. The day I can say that I feel 100%. So far, I'm still waiting. I'll also say that, if I weren't testing Zicam for some insight as to it's effectiveness, I would have probably stopped administering the stuff yesterday. I think most consumers would react the same way given the misleading statements made on the packaging, the tendency for the spray to cause discomfort, and it's apparent lack of efficacy after the 36 hour mark. Why are you so nervous about how well Zicam does or does not work for me anyway? You still have those wonderful "clinical" studies to fall back on.
