Mad2, that is probably not a bad piece of advice, but my position in GUMM is very small, and in any case it is held in street name so I am probably not on their shareholder list. I bought GUMM for amusement value only at 16 and then more at 18, and I'm far too busy these days to do much in the way of research. I bought it mostly because the product was very effective for me, and I was curious how it would turn out. One of my investment rules is generally to avoid stocks that are heavily shorted, so normally I would have avoided this one. The way I see it is that is a prolonged bull market, such as this one, there are a huge number of dumb longs floating around, but the dumb shorts have been wiped out by now. Thus I figure that the average short is smarter than the average bull, which is why I avoid stocks that are heavily shorted. Carl
