Sergio " a surpise of volume and price prior to the news" <GGGGGG> so much for the famous SEC FD rule. Full disclosure is a joke for the simple fact that the market is dealing with human nature. Tell a secret to a dog if you want it to remain a secret, never to another human. NUTX does have my interest BTW: per the 20% rule lets dump SORC from the contest. The private placement of convertible debt caused the stock to sell off sharply combined with a .02 lower EPS over last year. Too bad too as SORC should have been able to grow just fine without convertible debt. IMO these companies will never learn that convertibles are not the way to go, or there is just too much temptation to cut some sweet heart deals with friends at the expense of common share holders.

Sergio, I'd like to replace SORC in the contest with ERICY at tomorrows open. Being the #2 player behind NOK can't be all bad and they seem to be the first coming to market with G3. biz.yahoo.com Ken

Amigos, check out BIPL. Profitable tiny genomics play with cash on the books, no debt and a clean balance sheet. .07 in earnings in the last two quarters. (.02 and .05) Sales rose 20% last quarter to $2,834,000. Income rose 204% to $389,000. 8.3 million shares outstanding. 5.90 in the float. They make diagnostic products to assess and diagnose various ailments and conditions. They just closed a merger with Xtrana, a private company with technology used by genomics companies. Their technology allows for extremely fast and reliable testing of RNA and DNA. They just launched a new DNA test that they are very excited about. They also should soon unveil a new very fast testing device for HIV. Many other tests are in the works. This is an interesting little company with great prospects. In genomics research, speed is everything and this company can help speed along several important tests. The chart looks very compelling as well. In a very strong uptrend. Moved up nicely today in a very bad market. I have been buying shares recently. I think it looks great. RCJIII
