I followed it for awhile when it was cheaper--at that point I had the notion that it fit in there with peers arql and dpii, or more likely inbetween. Lessee, last four quarters Net Tangible Assets have declined from 35m to 29m to 23m, to 19m: What do you suppose they'll show Dec 31st? Then tack on the 15m from Organon in this quarter. They needed that deal didn't they! $15m does not seem like a whole lot, but I've not been following them. Looks like the type of company I would want to revisit in a year, see where the net net is a year from now.

Working through duplicate posts, here is something cute worth sharing: My kid is in first grade and she had to sing something for her new music teacher--she did some of Stan Rogers' Northwest Passage. (Proud dad!)

(deleted pcop duplicate post) Here are the lyrics: Northwest Passage Chorus: Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died; Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones. Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain. And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea. How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again. Unpublished additional verse: And if should be I come again to loved ones left at home, Put the journals on the mantle, shake the frost out of my bones, Making memories of the passage, only memories after all, And hardships there the hardest to recall. -- Stan Rogers
