Sam, Avoiding biotech........smart move! (:>) However, I can say that the most money I've ever made in one stock was a biotech. Then I could turn around and say the MOST money I've ever lost in one stock was a biotech. I'm only lucky that the first involved more money. (:>) CBI is really moving today.......I had rather it be a below the screen movement......but for the moment it's a good ride.

Just for the record.......picked up a few AMGN shares near the close ...$45.00......gut feeling that Q report tomorrow can be a nice surprise. I still believe that AMGN could be taken out by a deep pocketed big pharma company.

Talk about a 'blind hog being able to find an acorn'! I had placed an GTC limit down order to sell my (AMGN)at $46.25 yesterday, while the stock was trading at just north of $46.50. I thought a $1.25 profit for 24 hours wasn't a bad deal. The market closed and then (AMGN) reported their Q--missing earnings and revenue levels by a mile. I tried to immediately do an A-H trade, but Schwab wouldn't take the order as I already had an open GTC order to sell my 1,000 shares. Lucky me......stock is now trading at near $49.00......so one must wonder what would have happened if they had a good Q report.
