Cool, Esteban. Just one point, though? I thought that should have been worth at least 5 points. Thanks for alerting me that the 56 sold ATPX. Somehow I heard the buy recommendation a thousand times, but never heard the sell recommendation at all. I wasn't able to read the boards for a couple of days. They sold at 13-3/4 and by the time I heard about it, it was down to 13. I think will wait for an up-blip before I bail on that one. I took pretty big losses on CADE, BOSCF, BDLS, CLHB, and generated enough cash to get me through the crunch. So I'll wait till tax selling season is over before I dump any more at losses -- if I can. It might improve in January. I've been loading up on BCMD and VLSI, and also had AIM buys on GEMS and GENZL. Linda
