Lee,
I am still holding TYC but am not too happy so far. I bought it the day before this year's October black Monday at 44, if I had waited til Monday I could have had it at ~36 and I would be happy now. Oh well.

OT

On that black Monday I picked up CSCO at 67 and SPAB at 4, both have performed reasonably well. gggg Csco at 90 (now 91 and change) is making my fingers itchy to hit the sell button. I was hoping for maybe 80 by the end of the year and it is in my Roth IRA so if I think it is done rising for a while I will be gone.

SPAB is a wild speculation, they supply modules for the Shuttle, I believe the tools and parts for the upcoming Hubble repair mission are on a pallet provided by SPAB. They supplied the pressurized module for Sen. Glenn's flight and they also have a growing business putting satellites and final stages together before they are mounted on the main launcher. They have long term contracts with Boeing for both land and sea launches and Lockheed for Atlas launches. They also run the astronaut training center with the big water tank and supply the models of satellites and space station parts that the astronauts use for practice.

Between the space station missions, astronaut training and the satellite prep they should be generating revenue for years to come, now if they can just make a profit. ggggg

Happy Thanksgiving
Haroooom,
Treebeard
