The GUMM stock promotion fraud admits failure and adopts a new stock promotion scheme: biz.yahoo.com The "drug delivery technology" scam has been employed by numerous phony biotech firms. What they usually do is take an existing generic medication and propose a new "delivery technology" which they will claim magically causes the medication to work on some widespread malady. They then file an NDA which inevitably gets laughed out of the FDA, but while the clock is ticking, the stock promoters pump it and dump it. This technique was used very effectively by one of my favorite shorts: Zonagen (ZONA) and with some limited succes by another stock I shorted: Macrochem (MCHM). Zonagen attempted to piggyback on the success of Viagra and the excitement surrounding the ED field by claiming that a 50-year old generic heart medication named phentolamine would cause erections if it was taken using Zonagen's "proprietary delivery technology"...namely, a pill you swallow. Small investors lost millions. I strongly caution investors to think twice before buying shares of GUMM.

Dale... >>Agreed it may take a while. But I think by Christmas Cook will rename the company again and announce yet another new venture to sell more stock.<< My theory is that Cook is developing a very great "stealth technology." For example, he has secret customers and secret contracts, secret Press releases coming, Secret revenue and secrets that he hasn't even mentioned yet! Come December he will have a secret company, new name and well, you already know the game. And to Bill W., WELCOME BACK. Bob T.
