Hi LabRat, People take one look at me and figure I must be on something... :^) I like CRA. I've been pumping them for a while now. I just bought them again the other day. I also like PDLI. A smaller company with a great future is STEM. They are involved in Stem Cell research which Clinton just promised lots of funding for. There are a few others involved in this area as well. I may wait to see if STEM drops in price as the hype wears off and then buy into them. However they rebounded nicely yesterday. Anyone else have any good biotech stocks to watch? -TwoHeadedMouse

In re drugs, etc. A couple years ago I came to the conclusion that I was far too heavy in high tech and got interested in drugs. The more I looked the more confused I became. Without a really intensive look at the whole sector which one(s) to buy was too much of a problem. So, mutual funds came to mind. Looked at those in this sector and decided on Vanguard Health Care fund (VGHCS). Put a whole $15k in that fund. Since then it has been closed to new investors, then that was lifted but there are still limits on what one can invest (I think the limit now is $25k but as I haven't had any money to spend, haven't kept track of it.) This fund is doing quite well. Since I purchased it in 1/99 the $15k has grown to almost $21k. That isn't spectacular but it's good enough so that next January I'll probably buy some more. ---Jack---
