Update-Bullseye a couple of days ago. Second takeover this year ELMG--EMS TECHNOLOGIES INC. A nice triple digit percentage gain from my initial stake last year. :+ ) No unrealized losses booked yet this year. Due mainly to sizable positions in UFPT, TDC, CCMP,and ELMG. My best dollar gain year since 1987. That was mainly invested in 2 daughters going through pre-k through 12th grade catholic schools.
