It is nearly time to make good on those pledges folks,  things are looking very good for Regeneron lately, and MZ is really starting to run away with this one!
  Once again, here is the link to ALSA,  The ALS Association, which was MZ's charity: alsa.org I see on their website, you can donate by phone,  so it should be pretty easy later this week to get the tax deduction in there for year 2000.
  I will post the final numbers next weekend...but,  after the close of trading Tuesday, Miljenko was sitting at +174%, followed by Lokness with 67%,  I was at 50% then TexasDude at 44% then MKC had 27%. The rest of the entrants ranged from 27% to -15%. Those are some pretty sweet returns in a very difficult year. For those of us who might have taken some off the table earlier in the year, congrats!
  It has certainly been a great pleasure to have  been in on the biotech 2000 rally and I look forward to marking down the final numbers in a few days.
  If anybody is going a contest for 2001, feel free to post the link to the thread here. I wont be doing a contest myself, but I'd like to pledge again for next year and mark down another batch of biotechs!
