I've been sleeping with GUMM Although I trade several stocks through the day, GUMM is the only stock I will hold. GUMM is a manufacturing facility for functional gums like Breath-A-Sure, gums with vitamins, gums that reduce plaque (dental gum market is super big), etc. GUMM also has a cold remedy that reduces the common cold duration to 1.5 days. zicam.com This product has huge potential. Its only been out 4 months and sells have been incredible. GUMM has hired the same PR firm as Viagra to do their job with this product. Research is pending publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. The PR firm is in discussions with 20/20 and several national magazines. What other product will take away your cold in 1 1/2 days? Only Zicam. Anyways, GUMM has been in a "quiet period" whereby they can't make news releases until they complete a finance deal, which is most likely this week or next. After that, investors who have been sleeping with GUMM will be rewarded with a price jump. GUMM is not for daytraders. Its a position play/investment for large overnight gains. Its a steal at the current price. Check your charts. bo

Hey you two, nice job with the thread. I am thinking METG will do well today. It had good news yesterday, and may gap up this morning from end of day traders orders coming in at the open, because of news today. Here is the news from yesterday again: marketwatch.newsalert.com Do you think this news is impressive enough for a price jump? It seems so. If these government agencies are clients of METG, this is steady revenue coming in, and electonic purchases should make things more convenient for both parties, and increase sales and profit margin too. Read the bottom of the article ABOUT META GROUP. Looks like a quality company to me. I didn't really look at the article much today, but after reading it thoroughly, i feel better about holding it now. MM's may try to shake some shares today, but i think this one is a hold. Well, good luck today, boys, let's have another profitable one. Cheers, Mike
