"...you dragged me into a ridiculous lengthy discussion about it."

ROFLMAO!! Since when did anyone ever "drag" you into a lengthy discussion?? All you do is pontificate over minor points, whether they be real or imagined, to the point of ridiculousness.

"Can you tell me a few things that he has been proven right about?"

He was right when he asserted that the best name for you is Dan "Valium" Zimmerman.

CYBG, ENML and ZITL plus virtually the whole Y2K craze, among others. But nobody is perfect. He was also right to cover YHOO early last year and change course.

The GUMM stock fraud

<<Some of his comments that come to mind that have been proven false>>

<<0 retail sales>>

You are lying. I said sales were "negligible". This is absolutely correct and verified through numerous queries of retail outlets such as Costco.

<<0 reorders>>

You are lying. I never said "0 reorders". However, negligible sales would of course imply few reorders.

<<all homeopathic remedies are a fraud>>

This is absolutely correct. Hoemopathy - nearly by definition - is fraudulent medicine. This is not disputable, and there is absolutely zero scientific evidence that Homeopathic medications work. That's why when you do a web search for the words "Homeopathy" and "Fraud" you get so many hits. by the way, I don't understand why you would need to defend the pseudoscience of Hoemopathy. Didn't the good doctor - Howie Epstein - state that even though Zicam was labeled as Homeopathic, it actually wasn't Homeopathic (I'm still scratching my head over that one by the way)?

<<He has been wrong about nearly everything that he has said about GUMM>>

I am 100% correct about the GUMM stock fraud. The results speak for themselves:

1) There is zero scientific evidence that Zicam works. The "clinical studies" sponsored by the company are a farce and not publishable in any respected medical journal.

2) Zicam's earnings report was horrible, and sales of Zicam - past the small hype phase - are in the toilet.

<<you dragged me into a ridiculous lengthy discussion about it>>

You have to be f*cking kidding me. Are you high? You and Howie must hold the record for the lengthiest, most boring, most WRONG diatribes I have EVER seen on SI.

<<He has been wrong about nearly everything that he has said about GUMM, including the direction of the stock>>

The GUMM stock fraud will eventually - and inevitably - trade in the low single diogits. I may have shorted too early, but that's never been a problem for me...as long as I'm confident of the long term outcome.
