WF10 trial status While surfing the oxo site, I came across a link to the "AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service" website. I went to the "Find a Clinical Trial" section and did a search for WF10. I came up with two links that are interesting. The first is a link for WF10 itself...this could be good background reading for newcomers: actis.org@actis.env?CQ_SESSION_KEY=QSDRNOFADSJY&CQ_CUR_DOCUMENT=5&CQBASE=ACTIS_SITE&CQINNER=&CQ_RECORD=Yes The second link is the more interesting link. It is the link to the current phase III trial: actis.org@actis.env?CQ_SESSION_KEY=WQHPBSHMLWEZ&CQ_CUR_DOCUMENT=1&CQBASE=ACTINEW&CQINNER=_INNER&CQ_RECORD=Yes A couple of sections caught my eye: Trial Status No longer recruiting Status Last Verified March 20, 2001 [ed. ** Note TODAY'S date ] ... Expected Enrollment 240 Currently Enrolled -1/240 ... Content Last Updated March 20, 2001 [ed. Note TODAY'S date **] The "Currently Enrolled" section has -1/240. Is this confirmation that the trial has officially ended? Is this what changed today? I searched a few of the other trials listed on the site and quite often they would have "45/50" or "70/70" or even "59/50". I'm guessing that the "-1" indicates the trial is over. If this is the case, I expect the results should be forthcoming. How long does it take to do the final analysis? I'd guess that the trial coordinators have been tallying the stats all along. Anyway, today's date just caught my eye and got me thinking. Cheers, P.D.T. PS. I'm surprised that this info managed to slip through Beckysboss' wide ranging "info net". :)

I believe we are now within 4 weeks of the bottom of this bear market. Technically we've just entered it on the DOW; but, valuations overall in my opinion are closing in on what will be their lows. GE is at $37 just to name one and perhaps the single most important example. Valuations are entering and are at good prices for the longer term. A bit more and we may pass that bond/equity sweet spot at the same time that the economic indicators show a little promise. If you step back and look at the correction we've already made, you can see that the markets have done some serious adjusting towards the fundamentals. The bear guarantees a large tax cut in the US which will largely be put to debt in this environment. The nice thing about pain is that somewhere it ends. In investing, unless you're smart enough to buy and sell on shorter term dips and peaks, the real measure to me is average return over a multi-year timeframe compared to alternatives. The prices out there are starting to become attractive. Good luck everyone, Wolf
