Dang...I saw that big block of NBIX sell of earlier and thought I'd be able to get shares around 4 1/2....well checking my order, I see I didn't get NBIX anywhere near that-- in fact, I paid as much as 4 3/4 for some shares. Terrible! So much for scalping a quick 1/4 on a daytrade... way to go, ooof. (I don't try and daytrade anything I wouldn't be happy just to own long term anyway... just in case a trade quickly ends up in the hole). How strange it is however that many folks are willing to trade stocks in which they do not want to have any long term interest. I probably should not have given up Hyseq for Neurocrine with interest in the genomics stocks lately, but what the hell...no sense trading back and paying spread and commissions. That is what happens with market orders I guess! Regarding other stuff on my lists...I received the GLGC annual report, cute, they put it in a static bag. Their website is fine however...has the report as well, if anybody is reading this skip ordering the paper and just go here genelogic.com I am tempted to sell half my remaining magn to grab a little...but I want to resist the tendency to gather easter eggs, better to concentrate in fewer issues.
