OT Mike control operation in progress. (Start Rant) Washington Mutual!!!! B**stards. I banked with Great Western for about 20 years until WM took it over and now service is the pits. I have been gradually moving our business and checking accounts out . You should visit a branch, see how happy all the Home Savings and Great Western customers are about the way WM does business. And no on-line banking, although it was promised by GW years ago. Since you are a shareholder I hold you responsible for the poor quality of their customer service. (End Rant) So you want to bail on small cap biotech for railroads and banks and pharma. Turn your back on the sector that made you rich. Buffett says "Invest in what you know". You know railroads? Banking? You been reading Value line or some newsletter? Get back to work in small cap biotech. I need some help here. Can't dig up everything myself. RWR

Thanks for the eyeball numbers on CIST, so far, glad I held on to a nice chunk. OT (regarding the wacky post to which this one is linked--this is just for myself, feel free to disregard) Lame man: I held WM from 2/29 to 3/7, and captured only one dollar worth of the move this past month from 22 to 28, and the right to go to the shareholder's meeting. So glad I got back into GZMO in time to capture the slide from the lower 20s to the middle teens. A little more patience dammit. And look at the unholy number of trades in GZMO this year--honestly, I had no idea I had churned so badly in the first quarter, granted, the trades are paid for with one block and one buck, but still... bought at 6-7 sold 10, bought at 7-9 sold 8-10, 15, 22, 24 bought ~17, sold 25-26, 36 bought 20, sold 21 *AND NOW THE STINKER* bought 22 1/2 sold 14-15 (and right away bought back 14) Long 5000 GZMO ...and I pledge to make no more trades in GZMO, really. I've got to nip this habit. ____________________ <the West Antarctic ice sheet will collapse within the next five years> I saw in ScienceNews that the 'biggest icebreaking event of the century' has occurred as a berg the size of Connecticut has come off the Ross ice Shelf.
