Yaacov,

Thanks for the info on MRK. I think I'll wait until the split to put that one in my long term portfolio. I'll get more shares that way and maybe I'll catch it right after the split and watch it go up.

About Disney, The attendance problem makes sense because of their California and Florida locations. I also read something about the board being upset with Eisners compensation being to high. It's tied to company performance so I wouldn't think that would be much of a problem. I figured they were doing pretty well with their studio releases and video sales. They are bringing out their classic cartoons on video. They always have big marketing efforts behind them too. I would think they are making lots of money on all those toys and clothes they sell with the 'cartoon' of the quarter too. It's also on my list to buy eventually too, I feel they do know how to market there products not just the amusement parks. I guess I don't know much but every time a new movie comes out I have to buy it along with all the 'junk' that goes with it. <gg> So they are reaching their audience, Kids (of all ages). They also have ABC and ESPN broadcasting networks so I can't imagine the parks bring in that big of a % of revenue. JMHO as usual. :-)

Yack at you later

Take Care

Ann
