The significance of the relationship between CSFB and Gum Tech depends on what the two parties make of it. It doesn't have anything to do with what Lehman did for SNRS, what Goldman Sachs did for ETYS, or what any investment banker did for any company. It is only important what CSFB does for Gum Tech, and you might want to pay attention to that instead of irrelevant bunk about relationships that don't have anything to do with CSFB and Gum Tech. By the way, the only connection between detergent boxes and Gum Tech is that Procter & Gamble sells Tide and they are obviously getting ready to sell dental gum. It would only make sense for them to market it under the Crest brand name. You might want to pay attention to the fact that P&G's brands are number one or two in their respective categories. Do you recognize any of these brand names? Baby products: Luvs, Pampers, and Baby Wipes Deoderant: Secret and Sure Cosmetics: Cover Girl, Max Factor, and Olay Shampoo/Conditioner: Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Pert Body Soap: Camay, Ivory, Safeguard, Zest Fragrances: Giorgio, Boss-Hugo Facial Care: Noxzema Dish soap: Cascade, Dawn, and Joy Laundry: Bounce, Downy, Bold, Cheer, Gain, Tide, Era Cleansers: Comet, Spic and Span, and Mr. Clean Feminie Care: Tampax, Always, Alldays Food: Sunny Delight, Folgers, Jif peanut butter, Crisco, Pringles Pet Food: Iams, Eukanuba Cough and Cold: Nyquil, Sinex, Vicks Paper Goods: Bounty, Charmin, Puffs Health Care: Pepto-Bismol, Crest , Fixodent, Scope If you think that P&G's dental gum won't move up to the number 1 or 2 brand and significantly benefit Gum Tech, you are really naive and your "analysis" reeks. Keep posting BS. Maybe one day you might even believe what you write.
