OTish:Bernard, talk about thorough!..I asked if you knew the ticker-g- Fred too, My original post was a case of Elisabeth gettin' a tad silly in the middle of the afternoon..I was indeed doing JPM homework and I was tickled about finding a pet health care company-g- But indeed I will check it out.. An aside re: JPM..it's my second year..not sure if its me or what but I'm surprised by how many 'tool' companies there are(high tech cardiology instruments), respiratory equipment etc and even a physician staffing company(The Hospitalist Co)..Bernard, I imagine that you're aware of the latter being a growing specialty?..private practice internists getting tired of being woken up-g- Best, Lastly, do you mind if I bring any Naz companies that I'm not familiar with that are presenting over here?
