I have repeatedly provided reasons for my speculation on dental gum. Here are the reasons again since you apparently can't remember from one day to the next. From Gum Tech's May 12, 2000 press release: In addition, we are moving forward steadily with a major consumer products company to develop and market oral care gum products and anticipate a significant development with respect to this opportunity before year-end. When realized, these opportunities will result in significant growth in our gum operations. From Gum Tech's October 26, 2000 press release: William Hemelt, Gum Tech's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Gum Tech gum sales declined for the quarter, which was expected. We are diligently working to add new customers and are optimistic that our R&D work on a variety of gum products with major customers will come to fruition very soon." Which part of this don't you understand? Which major consumer products companies sell oral care products? Which ones don't already have dental gum on the market? The only two that I can think of are Colgate and Procter & Gamble. Can you think of any others? I have never said that I know for a fact that they are working with one or both of these companies. However, it should be obvious from the company's own press releases that they are probably working with Colgate, P&G, or both. Do you have any other speculation or do you always short stocks without understanding a company's business or what might nail you? And please bring the SEC on! I have plenty of stories to tell them about manipulative shorting activities in this stock. We'll have a nice long chat. Thanks for the contact. BTW, is that you or one of your buddies canceling orders through INCA and BTRD after getting partial fills? It should be obvious why they are doing that.
