Good evening Frank. I was out this morning and then had troubles with SI again. I was able to read the posts but could not post for a while. Well, your post went astray. We had the earnings reports on Asnd, Lu and IBM in the meantime. The first 2 beat estimates, LU by 20 cents. But we could be in trouble with IBM. It was halted after hrs. First it was said they came in 1 cent above but then they decided they had to use diluted earnings and then they came in 4 cents under. They had a conf.call and it started out ok. The stock was down only around 2. But then the hammer fell. The CFO talked of a tough qtr. coming up because of Asia. Then the stock plummeted a total of at least 6 points last time I heard. The qtr. after that should be alright again. Not a good omen for the techs tomorrow. But you never know, WS may change their mind on IMB comes morning. I kind of doubt it though. Hopefully CPQ will come in with good numbers before the bell. It could save the day. gg. We had a great day with the drugs and I am sure you were practically stunned when you saw the increase of the stock price in your drugs. I guess I check the Asian markets now, since they seem to matter. gg. Sonny
