Sergio, Portfolio has been updated. Surprisingly there are only 28 stocks at this time out of a possible 30. I follow a lot of China play but they all seem to have made some large moves at this point. Twenty out of twenty eight are in the green. Most of the 8 in the red are not down that much. I think we may be staying in the summer doldrums for a while. Joe

Sergio Okay here is going to be a new one for the folio.. Place BLTI as a short sale at 11.00. Reasons: 1. suspect they have been recognizing sales and eps based on leases rather than actual sales. They have been selling the machines to a third party leasor, at a discount, then posting the sales at full price. RE: LA Time article. 2. The secondary offering is way over alloted to the underwriter...Not really the companies fault, but the underwriter is going to make a killing on the option. Dilutive to say the least. 3. The stock was and still is based on speculation of future growth, not actual value. Down to 7.50 I say!!! LOL Ken
