Hey Lee. Happy New Year to you too. Sorry Ive been off for so long- you know how the holidays can get. Anyways, I suppose you saw what happened yesterday. They even mentioned the concern about future growth beyond the next few quarters which is also my concern. I think Im still going to hold as the stock will benefit from Guidant's earnings and then a couple of landslide quarters in a row. I dont see myself holding AVE much beyond mid-1998, though. As far as the CEO leaving- well Im sure he could retire a happy, wealthy man if he wanted to. He accomplished everything he wanted at AVE- gave shareholders a great return and developed and recieved approval for the company's products. In all, there is really not much more for him to accomplish there. I dont blame him for leaving. In a general sense, what is your outlook for 1998? Do you see the January effect taking place and what sectors are you looking at these days? In any case, Happy Investing!

Howdy Lee, hows it going for you so far this year. Last weekend I happend to go up to Santa Rosa to visit my friend. I got a good look around AVE, but only from the outside. PG&E had kicked everyone out of the building so they could run the power through the first building to the new one. I guess they are almost ready to start that place up. From what I gather, they are ready to quadruple production. I just hope that many people need stents. Anyways, Im still holding on to my few shares I have remaining. No real point in selling those now. I just hope it goes back up. Nothing too exciting going on with this stock anymore, though the trading volume has picked up over the past few weeks. Till later...
