I didn't think anybody was lurking... and my performance is not very interesting. You can have the thread if you like...I just thought I would stop posting my trades and thoughts here--I've have not been doing very well lately anyway... The important thing however is that this whole thing is with "house money"...and I suppose I'll keep playing til my stop is hit, at that point I'll probably sell half of my stuff--but at the least it will be no trading for me for awhile...I should think a year off would be about right. I intend to walk away with some of that house money, so I may have to part with some shares and go 50% cash. I took a 6k hit in Magainin just yesterday, that sucked...but my basis was under $2, so it was mainly just taking back a paper gain I'd not locked in. I had sold most of my postition when it moved from below 2 to above 3, so I'm actually up in that stock...not many folks can say the same. The whole thing with MAGN's Pex was a real shame... I still do not understand what the FDA was thinking. Gosh Les, you got me chatting, I do way too much of that and not enough reading. Right now I'm trying to get through the latest scientific paper regarding Ariad's regulated gene therapy. Very exciting stuff, but it's not doing anything for the stock. Bought more ARIA--that was my main trade this past week...swapped my remaining ctii for more aria...not sure it was a good trade, ARIA ticks down a little every day and a bottom at 1 1/4 is now looking like 1 1/8th. Oh, I locked a 50% gain in VLTS...I guess that was a good trade...took several months, but nice. Now this time I really am going to shut up! I don't know that there is an awful lot of interest in microcap biotech--nobody ever seems to post back at me to tell me what they are watching. It was an okay idea...but it just did not work out. THE END?
