When you're always buying and selling stock for a 10% run you might be confused by a little correction. If you had a clue about value you wouldn't be very excited about this move. But you don't Billy and as a consequence you will be condemned to constantly changing your mind about every stock you look at... GUMM will have you for lunch and you will close a losing position. You will be better off sticking with things you know something about. You still know nothing about this one.

Angry? Wonder where you got that from. I traded GUMM fairly well earlier this year and am up on my current piece, too. Even had I held the whole time, I wouldn't be at all angry, any more than I was angry when I was ahead of the masses on Pokemon and KIDE dropped from my 10-5/8 (pre-2 splits) purchase price to the 7's almost a year ago. Had I held for the whole rise, the recent 93 high would have been the equivalent of 279. When I buy a story stock with a story as compelling as GUMM's, the ignorant naysayers like yourself are like small, annoying, but ultimately inconsequential insects. And concerned? Not me. The selling that you attempt to sensationalize as "dumping" was pretty piddly. Where do you think buyers of (my estimate) 2-3 million shares in one day are going to find that much stock when the next quarterly report or next study results come out? Keep on babbling, but if you think any of us are going to be shaken by short-term fluctuations you must be a truly stupid man.
