Obviously very off, but do remember to factor in the terrible small cap & especially biotech market that started 2nd half 96 until this year. ISIP, VICL & LGND are all well off where they were in 1st half 96. I thought I was smart and waited till after the 97 tax loss season to jump into ISIP & VICL. All this did was allow me to hold dead money rather than suffer a paper loss. Oh well. With biotech as a whole I'm actually up - better than a CD but way off a brain dead S&P 500 index fund return during that time period. Computer storage and networking are another issue (hence the reason 4 diversification) Scott
