Hope to analyze the 10 Q , SGD needs to revitalize the A-H marketing Expect to see a lot of new (3) skin-care product start-up expense and of course , if it were $50 mln in '98 revs the expenses would be less of a factor . New products add cost without revenue but SGD states it knows how to maximize its maturing A-H (Alpha Hydrox) products profitability . SGD knows it requires emphasizing your product's benefits clearly over your "on shelf" competitor's as the target who is now a "in store" buyer . Clearly put buying "power words" on the Red Box , add side bar colors to separate the red boxes from shelf blending , reduce seasonality by suggesting "summer" use etc and unify or simplify the A-H product line. Shelf space is priceless . SGD has achieved good spots in most stores and a revitalized A-H line could be very profitable . As investors with a long term horizon we shouldn't give up on this little doggie and as we are near bottom . Timing SGD's bad news for Friday's close was a blessing. 1998 was a costly year due to SGD's Family lawsuit and the Annual Report's tribute to the late Mrs Goldstein signals its closure . SGD needs 1999 to connect the (marketing) dots. Jim K. PS: CR , Thanks for the HS lead - looking into it .

Heavy trading today >75k SGD shrs - maybe 10 Q filed ? Are we going to see some bad sales news in the 10 Q ? If the guess is right its the start up expense weighed against a A-H sales decline not bouyed by the new product (Res Q) "fill out" . The Alpha Hydrox (A-H) product line revenue decline is mischaracterized as "mature" and mainly suffers from stale advertising with its packaging lacking motivation to buy . It's (A - H) a "brand" product bought by "regulars" who know its value in spite of this . Hope SGD moves rapidly to improve the situation . On today's trading - Wouldn't it be nice if we could time the sellers ? Hope its impatient shareholders taking a SGD loss against their other profitable holdings . Shareholder's meeting less than 2 weeks away ! Jim K. PS: Great heads up on HS at $ 2 , missed it but thanks . I'm going to follow it though its now above $ 5 .

Rebounded to 1 7/8ths , steady buying since 5/5/99 Annual Meeting Might be a technical recovery from (over) selling and/or investment advisors who attended SGD's 5/5/99 AGM are recommending it . Buyers before SGD's 5/5/99 proxy approval of $1.68 options realized that its price would rise and are not selling . The year will turn out better than forecasted . SGD has conservative management and wants to guide investors properly but with with caution . SGD's 3 new skin care products are paid for and will add to '99's 2nd half revenues . Their existing products , though well known by brand , need to be revitalized with more effective advertising . SGD's Balance Sheet alone should bring it to $2.50 . Key profit objective is for SGD to increase revenues substantially after '98's drop to $40 mln . Without the family lawsuit burden , '99 should provide a fair test for SGD's management in their quest to rebuild sales . Any good sales news should move SGD's share price up . Jim K.

Two new product WebSites in production , worth a look Both are innovative and encourage on-line ordering: ---- SGD's diabetic product line: 135.145.193.220 Could lead toa skin care break-through ! ------ SGD's Belleza Latina beauty care line , in English or Spanish: 135.145.193.220 In English or Spanish - about 85% of the World's languages . ---- Ordering is simple , text content is effective and speedy . Maybe the English/Spanish option will be extended to their other sites . Jim K.

Let's hope SGD turns out to be a winning pick . Jim K.
