Finished my buying today, my trading account is well stocked now--but nothing that I bought is actually "tradable". Bought many of the things on my shopping list, but not mlnm and vrtx. I feel pretty grateful to have been in cash for a few of the bad weeks. All my positions are pretty modest, not really overweighting anything much. The main reason I own some Sepracor is for X, all the other stuff is gravy if it works out. Naturally the best bang for you buck is down in the really small stuff, and just about everything else I own has a marketcap less than 200m. Hell, I'd buy more CeNeS if there were shares to be had! I only did a little of DOVP, and just a splash of etrx, or whatever/what used to be Microcide. If gizzmo goes down around $3 it might be something to get ahead of asco. Pretty cheap in here though. I wonder if it was a little weak because of a weak dndn lately? Or probably everything has to trade at 2x book eventually. ...ramblin.

Shopping list from a year ago: vrtx, nbix, tlrk, mlnm, gern, hgsi, cege gzmo, enmd, etrx, dovp?? Symbols just thrown out there--over and over again on my thread--and never any specifics why I might be interested in them. This was a success starting this thread--it has kept me, for the most part, off of the serious threads--where the nonsensical posts are not appreciated! As I read the posts from a year ago, it sure seems as if much more than a year has passed. They say that time you raise kids goes by fast, but I seem to be experiencing the opposite effect. My kid is just over three years old--and it actually feels as if about ten years have been packed into just the last few. And the effect has nothing to do with my experiences--I have changed not much at all. But the kid changes so much! You don't actually notice it til you watch the home videos and the stacks of photos. I think when you spend a lot of time on the beach building sand castles (in light drizzle and 55 degrees mind you) time slows down.
