Marc, another 30-60 days? Didn't they announce this GNC deal about 10 months ago? Is this a new marketing scheme by Shaman? Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Deny the consumer a great new product until they come crawling to your door begging for it. Oh yeah, we could've packaged it months ago, but were not going to until a ground swell of consumer demand builds. If we wait much longer they will create a tidal wave that will engulf Nevada!. I don't think their greatest asset is their gargantuan gross accumulated tax loss. I think it is management's radical new concept to convince people that gargantuan tax losses should be viewed as an asset. Of course, what do I know? I was born before the dot-com age. I was taught that companies with huge tax losses, no assets and no products were a bad thing. And, on top of this you're suggesting they sell the NSF business? Marc, is this your speculation or did you hear this from Shaman? NSF is their sole non-selling product. It's the core of their non-business! And who will purchase NSF? GNC? That seems clever. Sell your only product to the one company that strangled you out of existence. Marc, you have been one of the most steadfast of optimists when it comes to Shaman. If you look at your posts from two years ago or even one year ago you will find that none of your original reasons for investing in this company exists anymore. You and I have conversed on these boards publicly and privately on a number of occassions and you always seemed exceptionally intelligent to me. But, I think it's time for you to turn granny's picture to the wall and admit that you and I and a thousand other poor bastards made a bad investment. In lieu of any admission of pessimism, would you mind updating me on the status of the Syn X bar? Regards, Ed
