Re: QGLY <PE= 8> Trailing of course and the company has warned that it see's growth slowing. <Profit Margin 31%> And sure to drop as more and more clones appear (even if they aren't "proven" to help with colds the clones will force down Coldsleezes selling price). <Bags of Cold-Eeze were swept off the shelves faster then they could deliver.> Sort of like IOM when they first introduced ZIP. Now both companies have plenty of product on the shelves. <Well, I doubt that, because Wall Street doesn't even know QGLY exists.> Surely, you jest. QGLY made quite a splash when it went public and the hype around Coldsleeze was no secret. The Street is treating QGLY like any other fly by night operation and that's one of the reasons the P/E is so low. <Yes, but this one trick pony is the only product in the entire universe that has been clinically proven not once, but TWICE to reduce cold symptoms by 40%. And QGLY has the patent.> Yes, and ZIP is the only mid range removable media "product in the entire universe" that is compatible with 12 million users. Since one of the key uses of this type of product is to share/exchange data with others, ZIP remains truly unique in this respect. <REALLY attractive as a mover is that it only has 12.6M Outstanding Shares.> Of course this works both ways as the drop from 20 to 10 demonstrated.

>> And QGLY has the patent << oh, well then...... that's a one trick pony of a different color. If they have the patent it's a slam dunk, eh? No company in oh, say ....... France or China would even dream of stepping into that pile of profits if they have the patent now then, would they? >> It is a very tiny company with 14 full time employees. << any chance of seeing what their absentee rate is at work due to ......colds? Could be a major marketing approach for them if it's reaaaallll low --- We' may be small in numbers, but we never get colds. So, we're always here making this stuff for you!
