I think we all are smiling now--I did a little whining from time to time about how much I might have made if I'd done things a little differently, but I could just as easily have gone all cash when my target was reached. Instead my target for the year was reached and exceeded--and having hunkered down in what I expect will be solid longer term plays (and maybe short term as well <g>) I really cant see myself getting stopped out or anything.
So, a few regrets, but no complaints. I had toyed with showing up at the Ariad annual meeting, but all that is in TGEN and GZMO now, nothing bad to say about aria of course, all that chemical genetics stuff is truly dazzling, but I cant follow what scott j, pseudo and bio are chatting about over there anymore...time to let that one go, I did well enough.
My game is sorta looking at marketcaps, tgen should probably have a greater capitalization than aria, and probably avgn (probably less risky too) so now I hunker down in there.
I try to look at my positions from the standpoint of how much I could lose--so I own genxy instead of crgn, etc etc.
If I'd done just a little better last year I could have boasted 3x in each of these last three years--was going to start a thread called Trifecta, and then proceed to lose it all daytrading Amazon.com, heheh.
Just a few weeks til the baby is due, have been boxing up my piles and piles of biotech stuff to clear up some space :-) For the rest of the year, no real goals, looking forward to the tgen annual here in Seattle, toyed with quitting my job, and going back to school, I may give that some serious thought, though certainly don't have enough to drop out of the work force. I like to joke around here at work about buying a Yurt and living off potatoes and government cheese--I do have enough for that, heheh.
It is very strange, but I feel the urge to trade draining right out of me--I keep looking at the yard and thinking about planting primroses and pansies! |
