Personal Attack??.... On a scale on 1-10 I guess it might have been 1/4. It's perfectly reasonable to question whether one should believe institutions who have invested millions in GELX or a SI poster. Not that the institution are always right by any means. >>>Personal attack --- all you can do.<<< Uhmm, I saw several other reasoned comments in the post. >>>This my last message.<<< Oh, lighten up a little. I'd like to hear what your take on Renagel is after it's been on the market a while since your a nephrologist. Since I've been on SI I've never saw a single instance where someone said "this is my last post" and it turned out to be the last post so we won't hold you to it.

I'm sorry you took offense regarding my last post. Most of my commentary was specific to Geltex. My only point concerning you was that you are essentially an anonymous poster recommending taking a short position. It is perfectly legitimate to weigh your comments with other information available regarding this company. Perhaps you wouldn't mind telling us which leading University you are associated with. As far as you not having a position in the company, I have to say that I find it difficult to believe that someone who has posted negative slanted posts about a company and both times after it has run up is doing so only for informational purposes. Add to this, your quote from a post on another thread: "I do not like to hold any stock more than one week. I am a daily trader and not a long term investor." And I figure your looking to make a quick profit on the run-up related to the potential RenaGel approval. I could be wrong, either way, if you are going to make statements that as a nephrologist you must recognize as cursory, regarding a drug like RenaGel you must be prepared for some type of rebuttal. Please don't take things so personally. Your input is welcome and it's good to hear opposing viewpoints. I hope you feel the same way.
