Let me know for sure when you are in Baltimore! I may be tied up mid-July; so I hope it isn't then; I've got commitments two weekends that are inflexible. As for the portfolio; I'm just continuing with the last year one; adding to it and trading it for another year with just a note of the snapshot state it was in at the time. ZRAN should have been in it as a lot of things; but I haven't had time to do the real thing and the simulation and the real trades take priority obviously! Things are turning out quite nicely so far for my real account. Musicmaker (HITS) is looking to be a big IPO. Liquid Audio is another one that is also hot. The internet music industry is a hot commodity; MP3 and now secure music formats. There is a secure MP3 version; some of the other compression schemes have better audio quality than MP3 and are also secure. This security issue is a bit deal and has to do with copyright protections for the artists. Bootleg MP3; it will be interesting to see how much websites get shot down over time for copyright violations.
