The hype is on * GUMM * "cure" for the common cold! CNN coverage From Yahoo....see the new GUMM thread....seems this could be the next huge hype stock on the internet....either going to 30-100 per share or 10-12. Will be interesting ZICAM is bigger than any pharmacy company announcing a new antiobiotic or viagra. EVERYONE catches the Common Cold and ZICAM is the cure. (1.5 days) We can no longer look at GUMM FUNDAMENTALS historically. Their financials and Market Cap need to be viewed with PROJECTIONS of the future, based on ZICAM. Common Colds is a huge industry. Its an extremely lucrative industy. There are 1 Billion Colds in the US. ZICAM is the VERY BEST PRODUCT for this industry. This is a proprietary product. zicam.com [info from a local pharmacist] ZICAM costs the consumer around $12.50 He said the standard mark-up is 100% So the store is buying it from GUMM at around $6. Profit margins on solution type products are between 70%-85% Lets assume 70% profit margin -conservative- that means GUMM makes about $4 per sale ! GUMM will be rolling in the money. Forward looking, GUMM will sell millions of units in Alaska alone ! Its really Cold up in CANADA and Northern Europe. Oh, when we have Summer, South America has Winter! The Common Cold is the BIGGEST Industry to be in because EVERYONE IN THE WORLD acquires a cold. Everyone who has $13 will buy ZICAM. Everyone who is long GUMM will become RICH as the growth for this product is realized. Oh, there will be some Brokerage Initiates Coverage of GUMM. Its a nobrainer Long Term Hold. My shares are locked in a Treasure Chest. -
