Cough, Cough — The Cure for Baldness?

A reader sent the link to this article from The Independent regarding Intercytex:

• I have the cure for baldness (though it hasn’t worked for me, obviously)

It should be interesting reading — though I must warn you that the UK-based website charges you to read the full text (it costs £1, which is around $1.85 US).

The article talks about the nonsense that is being propagated over the internet to drive the price of someone’s stock higher and higher. Although this company’s effort in hair cell research is credible, the P/R that they are doing does not do much for what I think of them. The Euro/Dollar indicates that this hype has driven the stock to almost $100 million in value. Maybe I should try that too, not a bad return for selling hype!
