to Richard Harmon
Congradulations. My check for 150 will be sent in mail to the J.F.Kapnek Trust tomorrow. I know a lot more about a number of biotech and small pharmaceudical companies this year than I did in 2004. It was quite enjoyable and I am already selecting my choices for 2006.

Based on extensive undercover work and the able assistance of Inspector "ClueSo" I have determined that Rick Harmon has been illegally importing from Colombia chia pets that are covered with marijuana seeds. Mr. Harmon then is transporting these marijuana laden must have “pets” under the cloak of darkness (and Northern California fog) to Humboldt County California where he plants his imported items and grows the “pets” to full harvest. Contrary to those who claim the smoky mist arising from this mountain region is merely rabbits cooking their supper it is really a band of happy samplers harvesting what is know on the street as Harmon’s Gold. Mr. Harmon takes this bountiful harvest and then markets it at every rock concert in northern California out of the back of a brightly painted Ford panel truck that is marked with…”Let There Be a Cloud in Your Sky”.

Mr. Harmon is then taking the massive profits from this endeavor and flipping the money into slightly used Cabbage Patch dolls that he is buying for pennies. He is then placing these newly refurbished dolls into new pneumatically sealed packages and heading to Chicago where he is selling them as new to rabid Chicago Cub fans who will apparently believe anything.

Now where and how does this relate to the Biotech Investing Thread for 2005 on SI. Upon checking the massive investing records of Mr. Harmon at Merrill Lynch, Charles Schwab, E-Trade, TDWaterhouse, Goldman Sachs, and a host of others that will go un-named for space purposes, it has been found that Mr. Harmon is taking the massive profits from his chia and Cabbage Patch operations to heavily buy the very stocks that he has placed in his Biotech Investing Thread for 2005. Thus it is his own investing dollars that is driving his portfolio to heights that none of us can compete in a fair contest.

So what does this mean for the Biotech Investing Thread for 2006? Well, as for me, I’m not going to anymore rock concerts in the Bay Area as I find that maybe I’m causing my own biotech portfolio to be performing at a great disadvantage as I’m abetting Mr. Harmon’s efforts. I would suggest other to do the same. At least don’t go near the Ford panel truck. I can only implore any of you that are Chicago Cubs fans and partake of the Biotech Investing Thread in 2006, please check the dates of those Cabbage Patch dolls and if they show they were made and packaged in Humboldt County California in 2005 just know that there is a down season to the harvest time and happy pickers need happy chores to keep them busy during this time.

With that said….Congratulations to Harmon’s Gold portfolio and charity selection. May the Holiday Season be merry for all and may there be peace for all in 2006! My donation has been made to Rick’s charity and I would ask for those who can afford it, to make a small donation to Habitat for the Humanity because if one visits the Gulf Coast region they will find that any monies to rebuild shattered homes is needed by thousands of displaced families.
