OT Ramblings- Ignore if you only want to hear about IOM DELL I can't make up my mind. It's a great company headed up by a dynamic young CEO and enjoys a great relationship with The Street. However, it's PE is at a level where it looks as if any further price appreciation could be sluggish. On the other hand, look at AOL which has been running like a bulldozer for 6 months right into the stratosphere. Is DELL the next AOL with a PE in high double or even triple digits? I'm playing it safe, and doing the INTC thing. Heavy. I'm Up 18% in my INTC purchase, and plan to ride it out for the next couple of months. QGLY and Zinc. Well, QGLY as we all know by now holds the exclusive patent on the only homeopathic zinc formula that has been clinically proven TWICE to reduce cold symptoms by 40%. It is also NOT a candy, unlike some of the competition. This is very important, as some other competitors (Halls Vicks etc.) try and offer competing products and miss the point, as well as the formula. Zinc, up until Cold-Eeze, was almost entirely unpalatable in doses necessary to have any effect in cold relief. Quigley has tried successfully to minimize this foul taste with its patented zinc-glutonate formula. But results vary. Someone posted here that they hated the taste. I myself find the taste neither foul nor great, mostly neutral. Certainly palatable. But I have yet to suffer from a bad cold since I've known about Cold-Eeze. And that, is the truth. QGLY trailing PE 8.8 Price $12 7/16 THIS IS A BARGAIN. 52 week high- $23 52 week low- $7 11/16 Earnings Up 600% last year. They have just now started to expand internationally through Merck. The price is declining due to the upcoming Summer, and forward looking statements that caution that the mild Winter here in the Northeast could affect earnings this coming Q. I'm still trying to figure out what the price will do as Summer nears. Maybe Up. Maybe down. This is why I'm not selling, as I look forward to more announcements of international expansion. Accumulate now.

" I'm sorry to see Gary, Truff and a few others leaving as this was also my evenings entertainment." Also find it interesting to see the highly acclaimed "traders" leaving at the bottom. If you are going to be a trader, why not get a job on a SOES desk, work as a MM, or start your own firm. It doesn't take that much capital. Very little actually (less than $250k). Ok so you have to get a few licenses but I am sure some of you have at least one or two of the necessary 4 (7,63,24,27). Still to be able to buy at the bid and sell at the ask has got its advantages. Does anyone still think that MM's and specialist make the bulk of their money from holding positions? Wrong... SPREAD SPREAD SPREAD SPREAD. It is like saying a broker gets rich by investing his own money. Yes it helps him make his own financial empire grow, but the income and investment capital comes from commissions on a daily basis.
