Midland, you mentioned DIT as a peer for SYBR

DIT is slightly profitable now, whereas SYBR is unprofitable. DIT has 10X the revenue of SYBR, but only 2X the mkt cap.

Looking at that, I would think DIT might be a much-better long-term buy than SYBR, although I doubt I would want to own either long term actually. It's just a terrible industry. Warren Buffet once said this about picking an industry: it's much better to be a mediocre business in a great sector than a great business in a bad sector, or something like that.

I'm sure hoping this year is good for the January Effect.

Last year wasn't bad. I got +25.1% as compared to +6.9% for the RUT, and there was some tax-loss selling showing up in charts in December. This December I found more stocks exhibiting tax-loss selling than I found previously, so I bought more names. Previous couple of years before 2006 were bad.
