Dear Bill: Even CNBC last night made some comment about how they wondered why the "discounters" got thrown in the same boat as say a Sears or Gap. Indicating they also would feel if anything a slowdown would probably only strengthen discounters hand. I have little respect for CNBC as a business news organization but if even they can see that wonder why the rest of the investing community doesnt? Maybe the whole damn thing is now run by computers?

The GUMM fraud continues its collapse while VPHM trends higher. Not surprising since VPHM's product - while it may not gain approval - is at least based on real science as opposed to quackery/Homeopathy. I'm still wondering if the GUMM fraud is completely broken though. The last earnings report was horrible and I'm certain that the next will be absolutely dismal. But GUMM's touts and promoters have been some of the most obnoxious and persistent that I have ever seen. Therefore, I continue to hold my remaining short position and will only short more on runups past my last cover point.
