Sheila, >I worked late to finish off all my patients<

Would you like to rephrase that?
Best - and only - laugh I had all day.

Here we go again! quote.yahoo.com

Off Topic!! Tax Question regarding Options.

I purchased IOM just before it broke resistance around 30, then again at 29, then again at 28. Well today I sold some of the 30 dollar shares, since I didn't want to pay taxes on the 20 thousand that I just lost. I then purchased 50 IOMEE options! Can I take the latest IOM stock loss this year if I don't repurchase more stock? Can I hold the 50 IOMEE through the end of year without getting taxed on the options? Are options treated like stock as far as taxes go? I can explain further if needed. I appreciate any advise or direction!

Roger

***OT*** Sheila, How many patients did you "finish off" today? %^) not too many I hope! Anyway, Have a great vacation in the sunny parts of the US. Be sure to make a visit to the Huge new mall just south of Scottsdale, AZ in Tempe, called Arizona Mills Mall. It is supposed to be fantastic. And, of course, while you are there be sure to go for lunch or dinner at the newest Rainforest Cafe located at the center of the Arizona Mills mall! You will get a real kick out of it and I think you will find the food to be excellent and the atmosphere exciting. If you are fond of chocolate, go to the Mushroom Bar at RFC and order one of their "Spotted Chocolate Monkeys" It is a chocoholics dream! You will be surprised by the extent of their menu. The portions, by the way, are HUGE, so its not a bad idea to share an entree, so you can have room enough for shared order of "Monkey Business" their superb bread pudding and ice cream dessert!! So, have a super vacation in Phoenix and at the new mall. I think they also have one of the first 3-D IMAX theaters in the western US at Arizona Mills. We really enjoyed seeing several 3-D IMAX films in Vacouver, BC on our last trip to Canada about 2 years ago. If you have time, try to make a trip to see Sedona, AZ about 100 miles north of Phoenix on the way to the Grand Canyon (another must see). The Red Rock formations at Sedona are really spectacular (try the Coffee Pot Restaurant in Sedona... great omelettes and home made pies). We will retire to Cottonwood, AZ next Oct. which is about a 20 min. drive to the west of Sedona. Happy Travels... Warm regards, --- Mel

I guessed that today's low would be 26 3/8 off 3/8, but I also predicted that we would close on a whole number -- 27. Now if I could only make money at it! Can't type anymore...Hard to pat my back and type....... Tomorrow we will see 26 again and close at 27 as well. Roger

<Hopefully, good new will save us today. Any guesses on today's low? How 'bout 26 3/8. Don't worry I've never been right before, but I'm pretty sure we will close at a whole number. Roger>
