I can't speak for Robert, but why would anyone want to share data such as this with a bunch of deceitful short sellers that are just looking for someone else to do their due diligence? I find this comment interesting in light of how Bill gets lambasted on a daily basis on this thread for taking this exact same stance only from the other side.

Dan... >>I can't speak for Robert, but why would anyone want to share data such as this with a bunch of deceitful short sellers that are just looking for someone else to do their due diligence? << If I were long and I really had some hard facts about robust sales, I would share it as long as it could be truly established as facts and not rumor. In this way it would scare the bejabbers out of the shorts and they would rush to cover sending the share price up to the benefit of the longs. this creates more momentum and continues to spike the price up. By the way, I also would expect that if ZICAM were flying off the shelf as some say, I would expect GUMM to issue additional press releases and not have to depend on "chat groups" to spread the news. Good Luck Bob T.

"I don't care if any of you lose your shirt on GUMM. You think it won't happen? Just stay short and wait." Hmmmm. I started an initial position at 16 7/8. I was able to add a little more at 15 3/4. Today, the stock approaches $14 and it looks like it's on it's way to $13 very soon. Forgive me if I fail to acknowledge your dire warnings of financial ruin but my shirt appears to be firmly secured to my back and I believe it will stay that way. I can see the headlines now in the National Enquirer: "Alien Space Craft Descends on the Capital and Demands Secret Formula for Zicam!" or "Michigan Man Claims Zicam Saved His Life!!"
