Good Evening Margaret, I am very sorry about the slide today in BMC Industries as it looks like the 43% drop was way over done. Although I do not follow that company, I do know for the longest time it has been trading rather steady in the 30+. Hopefully investors will appreciate the buying opportunity and take a piece of this company for the long term Yes that post you mentioned was a bit unsual and interesting but cast a rather shallow shot. Hope you are otherwise having a nice evening. Best Wishes Frank

Hi Margaret: Commiserations re BMC. Ouch! Don't despair it happens to the best of them...even to some well known Billionaires... A few years ago one household name lost more than six hundred million in one day on a Bio stock that fell more than $50 overnight when the stock dropped from something like $73 to $20. Wish I could have forewarned you on this one...always easy with hindsight, but technicals were not good in fact I had a 6/7 negative on that stock as of yesterday and tipoff may have been inability to rally with any gusto following October break. Looks like those s/a's who made those comments may have miscalculated. I hope some of your other holdings will even things up. Maybe a nice takeover or some other surprise like that. Just some thoughts to help ease the pain. Stockmarket can be both a dangerous but rewarding place kind rgds Wiz
