You are so wrong it isn't even funny. First, Street Walker first mentioned this stock to me in 1999 on an IRC channel for stock traders. I had never heard of GUMM before that, and never would have bought even one share of this company's stock if he hadn't brought it to my attention. It wasn't the other way around, dumb-a. That said, I took an interest in this company because I see them as a microcap that has a very good chance of continuing to grow into a much larger company over the long term. Second, SW started this thread and obviously formed his own strong opinions about the company. He didn't need any help from me or anyone else, nor did he get any. Third, SW still owns shares in this company. I have no interest in selling this stock anywhere close to the current price. I have no interest in luring anyone into buying this stock. If you notice dumb-a, nearly ALL of my posts on this thread and Wexler's thread were posted as a response to idiots such as yourself. I hardly ever initiate a conversation and would just assume not post here. Your agenda is clear. You and your buddies are short and feeling uncomfortable, so you bombard this thread and the Yahoo thread with tons of junk, and attack anyone and everyone who has an investment in the company. You don't attack the company's fundamentals because you can't. I am still waiting for a rational reason for holding a short position in this company at TODAY'S price and given the company's own growth guidance. Since you can't attack that, you attack me, David Lavigne, and other people that don't have anything to do with the price of the stock today or in the future. The price of this stock is in the hands of the company. If they continue to grow sales and profits, the stock price should go up. If they falter, the stock should go down. Given the growth over the last two years and expected growth ahead, the odds aren't in your favor. You condone worthless posts about ten year old 144 filings, false posts about who took this company public (not that it would matter anyway!), ruthless attacks on Mr. Lavigne that jump to the wrong conclusion just because he put out a research report on this company, and more BS than I care to regurgitate. You promote sell/short sale no matter what the price of the stock and no matter what the company does. The irony of it all is that you attack me for doing the same thing. Does the word hypocrite mean anything to you?
