GUMM was, is and always be a POS. Mr. Goldfinger: The past is not the present and whether you think GUMM was a POS before is irrelevant. Your claim that it is a POS now is highly debatable given the significant revenue growth that the new management team has put on the books over the past year. Unless you have a crystal ball, your assertion that GUMM will always be a POS is ludicrous. Even your short buddy Hank would agree that nobody has a crystal ball and to expect anyone to accept a comment like this is laughable. The amount of PR (free I might add) surrounding Zicam will result in many sales of the product and the name was immediately branded all over the United States. You might have a big ego, but the United States is much bigger than you. I have no respect for anybody who says something will always be a POS. I certainly haven't missed anything by never reading your posts on SI if this is the type of thing that you regularly write. GUMM was trading near 12 the last time you wrote about it. If you shorted then, I can see why you are bitter. BTW, Fiero was obviously shorting the stock today below 17. It was pretty funny watching him try to keep it down with over 1.3 million shares trading lol. Often, he was the only market maker on the offer and got hit for a lot of stock. He also shorted in the 12 area in September, and unless he covered, is obviously well under water. Good luck if you short GUMM. You might be able to scalp 1/2 or a point or so. But if you think that GUMM is more than a quick flip from the short side, you will probably end up with a $5+ paper loss like your buddy BW. Regards, Dan
