Uncle I have followed your fine thread since the beginning. There was a time when I could barely understand much of what you were saying concerning the indexes and the letters used etc. I did get the gist of it though by developing a 'feeling' for what you were saying. Even now I don't know what all the index letters stand for but my 'feeling' is deeper. I look to you for the all important direction that is necessary in wading through this mostly stacked deck against the small investor. Thanks to you Ike the playing field is a bit more balanced. Thanks for your great humility patience and gentleness. I imagine you to be a fine human being and a great father. Not necessarily in that order. Regards, Niv

Uncle, GLW has tried several times to break this 200. Lets see if it can push through this time around, if so I see no reason why it can't go to a new high.

I have been following a new issue in biotech LMNX. This company has developed a new testing process that will reduce the cost for biotech and drug companies testing for new drugs. An interesting story, they brought it public when all the biotechs were down and out, a difficult thing to do in such a market. Now I tried to buy it the other day and I could not buy it below the ask. This tells me that the stock is headed higher. Furthermore, I now read the underwriter has exercised their option to take down more stock. Another good sign. Its too small for options and is still losing money but their process could be adopted by the industry. What well run drug company would not want to reduce their costs? A nice little company to watch and see if it grows to its'potential. Looks like a run maybe already underway. Not for everyone and risk capital only. Regards.

Greetings IKE from the island of Maui; been on vacation last 3 weeks, and only get a chance to check in on your thread occaisionally at a local coffee shop; since my wife banned all laptops and internet access, while on vacation. I spent the past two years trying to figure a way to play these markets, and great credit goes to you, Mr. Latif, in helping me succeed.
I'll be looking to buy tech again, as per your current read.
Thanks once again for your selfless efforts to educate all readers.
best to your family
James
