You can thank me selling half my ntii yesterday
for the move up...halving all my positions ydy*
was really slick (read sarcastic), I feel a little
queasy--way to stick it to myself! I raise cash and
microcap biotech held up marvelously today.

I really am at a loss...might be time to quit
trading alltogether.

*I should note...just for the sake of being
entirely honest on these threads, that I halved
almost everything yesterday--Ariad was
the exception and continues to be my largest
holding, despite the slide and mounting losses
(too dramatic? my basis is 1 3/8ths...so maybe
I should not complain too much. When they shake
me out of the rest of ARIA, you will all know
it is time to buy that one...maybe with NTII
profits, heheh).

Sigh. This is definately a low point for me...
and although I am happy to have made some interesting
contacts in biotechland...I am not sure I quite
have the consititution to keep this up. I zig, the
market zags.

At least my gold fund was up strongly today, ha ha!

Well, another long chatty post...today's my day off
work...and I'll be damned if I'm going to bemoan my
lack of skill at trading any further. There are a
couple of good papers at Nature.com--I'd encourage
folks to read the one about generating cancer tumors,
keep an eye on Geron, if telomerase gets in the
media again due to the papers, that might be one to
daytrade as it hops around.

I also see a ras paper at Nature this week...that
gave me a chance to review the ras-inhibitor programs,
I was reminded today of preclinical work at OSI (osip)
and the Isis antisense ras--2503 I think that one is.
I elected not to try and daytrade anything coming of
the nature papers--MSNBC had a blurb...but not enough
of the keywords to get stocks hopping...and it was a
rough day.

Go NTII! Sure wish I had those shares back! Of course
if it turns out to be a ten bagger someday...maybe
5000 shares is enough for me anyway;-)
