I think that the Thermo companies may trade a little lower due to tax selling. If they do, I will be buying TMD and TMO. What do people think are good levels? I now view TMO as a venture capital fund. They find great ideas/companies and then make them a subsidiary. They keep the scientists and executives by giving them founders shares(which only can be exercised when the subsidiary goes public). Then, they offer shares in all of the subsidiaries under theirs as they grow. It leads to great retention of skilled management and scientists. The new companies have access to TMO's legal and corporate department, combined credit lines, access to financial markets that place them in a different universe than other start-ups. Also, a large number of people find out about the companies since they get shares in the IPO's/spin-outs. Bruce Bruce
