Really? Wow. You're blowing my mind here, man.

Again, it's a parody - I don't see how anyone who actually took the time to read the article would view it as a pump and dump. Then again, considering the state of the US stock market, asking for reading comprehension from stock traders might be a li

Even though this isn't about a stock tip, certainly Senomyx is being financed by food companies with mostly business interests at heart. I doubt that Coca Cola, Campbell, Kraft and Nestle care about food as much as they do about business. It's not me

Jim Cramer would yell and wave his arms and say something completely random while telling you how awesome he is. "Bear Stearns is solid!"

I have no need for any chemicals in my body.

Are you a metaphysical spirit? Your body, like all matter, is composed entirely of chemicals.

Still, I'm as suspicious of these industrial concoctions as you are. After the melamine/glut

I agree 100% with wetkarma. The intro looks exactly like a pump-and-dump come-on.

Discussions of chemistry are OK with me. Anything that even looks like a stock tip is not.

If the ingredients are safe, as they claim, then why do they hide them under euphemisms?

Have you ever seen the gag where an interviewer goes up and starts asking people if they're aware of the dangers of "dihydrogen monoxide"?

Your body is chemicals.

In San Francisco, at least, the produce is crazy good and reasonably priced for the quality of the food.

And the local food movement has produced all sorts of artisanal food categories including fine chocolate, local cheese, amazing bakeries (as long a

Well, they're not safe. I have no need for any chemicals in my body. But they're not "hiding" anything, they're just "helping their clients clean up their labels." ;-)

This is the part that bugs me the most. If the ingredients are safe, as they claim, then why do they hide them under euphemisms?

I don't like sneaky behavior, and the more they try to hide things, the more suspicious I become.

I would think that food company stocks are generally somewhat fickle. It's like the time when every single major food company decided to spend tons of money launching products for the South Beach diet.

Unfortunately, they were so behind the

Yeah, I initially wanted to make it sort of like a parody where I talked up how fabulously the company was performing but then cut that with hippie talk about what an awful no good terrible product they were peddling. Separately, then I also decided I didn

Eh, maybe too paranoid? The article doesn't take a side, really - it starts out upbeat but ends by pointing out a number of possible downsides of this product. If the AP runs an article on Vioxx, does it include a disclaimer about not buying Me

Here's a look at the company profile. Does this look like a buy, sell, hold, or stay the fuck away from this puppy?

So call me paranoid, but TnT editors should be careful in running stories which can be seen as recommendations to buy a particular stock. At minimum you want to put a safe harbor statement at the bottom of the story that the story is NOT a recommendation o
