Teresa, I'm back again for your excellent TA assistance. The stock is INKP, a small biotech that just received FDA approval in the area of the cancer that causes the second most deaths in the world. That being colon cancer and the current method of preventing is via the early detection by having a colonoscopy. INKP's newly approved drug has a very unique position in this area in that prior to having a colonoscopy, one has to "clean" the colon for proper viewing. Until now the method of doing this was by having the patient drink a near gallon of what might be described as the most horrible tasting concoction ever forced on a human to drink. INKP has solved this issue by developing a pill that can be taken the night before and morning of the test and needless to say...in trials of the drug(VISICOL)the patient preference was nearly 10:1 for the pill as opposed to the "liquid cocktail". I said INKP has a nice niche product, but to give you some perspective on the potential...by 2003 on a worldwide basis,it is expected that there will be 24 million colonoscopies performed on a yearly basis. This number could grow because of the increasing national attention that this dreaded disease is receiving. For example, some might have seen Katie Couric, NBC Today show, and her recent special in which she actually had a colonoscopy performed(for Ms. Couric her attention to this disease has special meaning because she lost her husband to the disease). But enough of the fundamentals of INKP. The stock for the last week or so has traded in a tight band ($9.25 to $9.50) with the $9.50 appearing to be a wall of resistance....does your TA see the potential of breaking out of this range in the near future? As always...thanks for your analysis!

sounds to me as if you learned all about people getting "WHIP SAWED" when you were brokering. No wonder that racially you guys built the Great Wall, your conviction is Absolute ( in it's scientific meaning) when you 've figured it out for yourself, so I bow to your superior judgement, but I probably still won't use stops myself. Between the Governments at various levels and the Banks there are already enough people trying to impose decisions on me without so much as a "by your leave", without giving the MM's the oportunity. In some ways the information age provides too much information from too many questionable and often unidentified sources. Did you read about the Australian who is going to jail for sending out several million misleading E-mails. Even the teen ager who did something similar in the States made a bigger profit. The recent one was written up by Brent Mudry on Sw a few days ago... they ran the deal through a small Vancouver Broker. Only in America could a guy that's been dead a month continue through the election process and get elected. I found your daughter's reaction to peer pressure refreshing. However her reaction is NOT typical of Ladner school kids I can assure you, I've lived here for almost twenty years. What most of the kids need is not more psycho- babble but more parenting, and a return to family life. Cheers
