Nice call on CHINA...I played SIFY since they tend to move together and I haven't been able to make myself trade CHINA...personal/political reasons. Lots of stuff seeing action today: genomics, fuel cells, advertisers RRRR ENGA TFSM, all except MMPT which should get some soon. Also SVNX heating up, OMKT, HEAR, MFNX, ELON, SCON, CDTS. etc. etc. I'm still on that slow moving EXDS train. I am a bit surprised by the strength and breadth as I was expecting somewhat of a down day. You're right about this being a whole new ballgame that changes day to day. Staying light and quick on my feet for now. Julie
