"I do not believe that at any time you considered it possible that this company was legitimate. Yet you know absolutely nothing about the company or its people. Yes, you are close minded." Once again, you are incorrect (as always). As a scientist with extensive experience in pharmaceuticals, I have been unusually open minded about this issue. Even though I never believed Zicam was a viable product, I was open minded enough to even try the stuff when I had a cold (the truth, in spite of what you "open minded" longs believe). Even though Zicam did not work for me, I was open minded enough to post, on several occasions, that IF GUMM ever gets a statistically significant clinical study published in a reputable scientific journal that shows unequivocally that Zicam works, and this data is sufficient enough to convince my colleagues in science and medicine that it is efficacious, that I would immediately close my short position and shut up. I'll even be open minded enough to say that IF the aforementioned events take place, I'll even consider going long GUMM. Unfortunately, since those events have not occurred yet, I have nothing to base my opinion on but anecdotal evidence and the posts on this thread. Since that is a far cry from a convincing argument, I can only assume that Zicam is a hoax and GUMM is doomed to fail miserably. I'm glad that you guys are so buddy buddy with management but being an exceptionally good salesman doesn't mean you have something worthwhile to sell. However, I am also open minded enough to know that fad products often sell well- at first. Given that, it will not surprise me if GUMM turns a profit this quarter. Consequently, I am prepared to cover on the next dip that will undoubtedly precede the earnings announcement next month. Like I said, I expect it to reverse and continue downward for the remainder of December. I have been confrontational for one reason and one reason only. I am a believer in and practitioner of the scientific process. When I see a product being hawked that flies in the face of this process and preys on the ignorance of the average investor, it pisses me off. And, as I've said many times before, all GUMM has to do is prove me wrong and publish those studies. Finally, your comment about having "so many shares" should make it clear to any lurkers here exactly how "open minded" your opinions really are.
