Viper Whoever suggested we take a look at "Company Research" on AOL was certainly correct. What we do here is is real softball compared to what's going on there, especially in the early December posts. Back in November I said I assumed the Market Maker ALEX was Alex Brown. Well, it appears to be J. Alexander. This firm is a rather reputable Los Angeles firm with what many people charitably refer to as a "loose cannon" in their Florida Nasdaq trader, one Jerry Rosen. Old timers may recall how upset Dntwstmytm was with him, for what he claimed was the renegade threatening market making of Mr. Rosen in helping to push the stock to 37. It helps me to know that fact in evaluating what is really going in this stock. It may help to explain the D.L. Cromwell (DLCR) involvement in the same Florida area. Now there's this poster on AOL "Stock0000" who is probably a market maker, makes some wild accusations which I know are untrue, but does have some which have the strange ring of truth. One of the most interesting is his accusation that Jerry Rosen's ex-wife, (who lives in Brazil and has a different last name) was given the Brazil distributorship for Cold-Eeze by Quigley, as a reward at least partially for her ex-husband's efforts on Quigley's behalf. Bet we could sell this story to "As the World Turns". That's a pretty detailed accusation for one to make up. Anyone with an in to Quigley want to get a denial from that Mr. Clean management? I wonder if even Jerry can push up the stock, with the millions of shares to be registered under the SB-2 and the remaining 144. I agree, we certainly could use a buyer for our "Category Killer". Doubt if W-L is a possibility. I seem to remember once hearing that they came to call and Guy told them to get lost. Hence their deal direct with the Zinc Acetate Guru. Don't think they like Quigley too much. But that leaves lots of others. Maybe someone will get careless, and offer a sum that even Guy would like. One of these days I'll elaborate on why less than squeaky clean management keeps institutional investors away, and indeed may now be causing them to unload. "Houston, we have a problem." On the good news side: Glad to see 14 holding so far. Happy New Year to all Richard
