I'm out this morning at 10 5/8 (good timing, eh?). PE too high and trend too negative. At (if) 8 I'll consider again. I still love NEOG but not the chart.

Another E. Coli incident and neog's test was used to discover it: Wednesday April 29, 3:02 pm Eastern Time IBP recalls ground beef tainted with bacteria WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Agriculture Department said Wednesday that IBP Inc (IBP - news) had recalled 282,129 pounds of beef suspected of being tainted with the deadly E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria. The ground beef was produced by an IBP plant in Geneseo, Illinois, on April 14, a USDA spokeswoman said. Health departments in some 20 states were notified of the contamination, but there have been no reports of illnesses linked to the bad meat, the spokeswoman said. The USDA detected the E.coli 0157:H7 during a random testing of IBP products, USDA spokeswoman Jacquee Knight said. The meat was packaged and distributed in large sausage-shaped shipments known as ''chubbs'' to stores, institutions and other large-volume customers, Knight said. ''This is not the type of product that a consumer would buy. This is what a big store would buy to grind it up to make ground beef,'' she said. ''It could have possibly been consumed, but if consumers are cooking it properly there should be no problem.'' The federal government has launched several food safety initiatives since last summer's record 25 million pound recall of ground beef by Hudson Foods Co. That shipment was also linked to E.coli 0157:H7, a virulent form of the bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea, kidney failure and death in small children, the elderly or others with weakened immune systems.
