In the spirit of this morning's genial good humor, I'd like to propose changing the name of this thread to something that better reflects the prospects of the name in question. Let's try: Zonagen(zona)-GOOD-BYE! Or, as a little homage to Truman Burbank: Zonagen(zona): Good-morning, good-evening, and good-afternoon, and if I forget to quote you before you disappear, good-night! Just a little levity to relieve my midday boredom with this particular story. Seems like the market feels much the same way. I'm trying to shake off this nagging feeling that someone may attempt to rally the nemesis yet, although that may just be my old "pre-data release" voice worrying about another squeeze play. With the trial results out, and just beginning to be interpreted in the share price, gravity looks to be the high probability bet. I feel certain the Longs on this thread have wisely parted with their shares. They were always ahead of the curve, in my recollection. Did anyone happen to catch the Business section in yesterday's New York Times. It might have caused the fleeting Vasomax-like uptick in ZONA shares this morning. It was in a way the best sort of plug on ZONA, although for that reason also sad: an overeager retirement age investor, had owned a furniture store in Jersey, says he likes to buy stocks that begin with letters X-Z. His broker has to council him into sanity, but he likes the game, even if he's losing like crazy. With Rainman-like logic he suggests that stocks with names towards the end of the abc's seem to him to be "at the edge of something." Naturally, he liked our friend Z. Perhaps it is, as he suggests, at the edge of something. I'd have to call that a "cliff." Q.
