Bill--HEPH went up big in the last 15 to 20 minutes of trading yesterday. A very classic manipulation move. The main product they are touting as having miraculous curing powers is a variation of DHEA which is available over the counter. The only criteria for your thread I feel they do not fully meet is the lack of a cult following. However a small but increasing group of us is becoming ever more dedicated to shorting them, would that count? All the Best Druss

Re: The myth of Chiang inventing the HP 35 calculator Thanks to Kevin Watson, I got a copy of Dave Stewart's original newsletter touting ZITL. He said: "In the 60s, Chiang invented the Hewlett Packard HP35 hand-held calculator..." Well, for fun, I checked out HP's web site and in a matter of seconds found this: When HP introduced the HP 35 -- the first scientific handheld calculator -- a small revolution took place in shirt pockets around the world. It began in the early 1970s, when HP co-founder Bill Hewlett, impressed by the small size of an arithmetic calculator he'd seen, became convinced that HP could expand the technology into a pocket-size calculator capable of performing trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions. The result was the HP 35 -- a product that fundamentally changed the way engineers, scientists, mathematicians and students worked and banished the slide rule to the history books.
