Research of GUMM and their future (buy-out ???) I bought this stock soley based on your recommendation. Now I've been doing some research (backwards to what I usually do). Current Products: GUMM manufactures Cigarest's smoking cessation gum, Herbalife's diet and energy gums, Heritage Consumer Product's Aspergum(R) and Chooz (R), Breath Asure dental gum, and a gum form of the popular Acutrim® brand appetite suppressant. Current Strategy: The Company's current strategy is to offer its research and the use of its formulations in exchange for co-manufacturing agreements with major branded and private label customers that possess the capital resources to promote functional chewing gum on a large national and international scale. Gum Tech operates one of the most advanced chewing gum manufacturing plants in the U.S. and is the only stainless steel gum manufacturing facility registered with the Food and Drug Administration to manufacture gum with over-the-counter drug products. My thoughts on the future: GUMM provides a unique way to DELIVER MEDICINE-- Chewing Gum ! How brilliant of an idea ! That's a great way to get kids (and adults) to take their medicine with taste. After reading between the lines,GUMM is a target to be bought out, imo. Having the only stainless steel gum manufacturing facility registered with the Food and Drug Administration to manufacture gum with over-the-counter drug products will capture the eyes of a large pharmaceutical company who will pay a high premium for GUMM and its drug delivery process. Who do I believe will buy-out GUMM ? WATSON PHARMACEUTICALS quote.yahoo.com Why Watston? They are acquiring companies with unique Drug Deliveries. I owned a stock they just bought out (went from $9 to $14 overnight) Theratech --http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/990118/ca_watson__1.html Watson Pharmaceutical just received FDA approval for Polacrilex Gum. GUESS WHAT ? Watson has no Gum Manufacturing Plant !!! AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ONE..... read between the lines, I think they are looking at GUMM's stainless steel facility not to mention GUMM's expertise at formulating gum/drug combinations. What other drugs (otc and prescription) does Watson have in mind putting in Gum ? The list is endless. Watson or some other drug delivery company is going to buy GUMM. A brilliant idea to deliver drugs through chewing gum! Street Walker, as a physician, you understand the above much better than I do. You said you were working on this stock pick for a few days and I'm sure I'm way behind your private thinking. Thank you very much for alerting your followers to this stock. You said this is your short term stock pick. How long is short term to you? bo
