I just realized that I am 41--not the 42 I had put on my profile. What a treat to find a whole year I'd lost, ha!

affx off 25% to ~$12 after hours, down to about an $835m marketcap, ilmn has a 4.25B marketcap I'd briefly thought about buying some, glad I didn't Message 24418269 --I never did venture outside the short list of microcap biotechs off my familiar list, but all my stuff is very thinly traded, none of my stocks did much volume today. Not that I am trying to daytrade anyway. I have six small positions--and they seem to all cancel each other out. Three will be down a couple percent, the others up--today was almost a perfect cancelling out day. My coworker friend and I occasionally check mlnm, always said we should swingtrade that--so seeing the 50% gain the other day was gutwrenching. Of course we might have traded it for a couple bucks a share and then missed the big day--that would be even worse than never having touched it. Anyway, back to affx--look at this breathtaking comparison finance.yahoo.com but the best chart is this one finance.yahoo.com Can you imagine holding on to ILMN that whole time, never getting shook out, letting it ride? Fantastic if you could do it.
