Keith,
re:<<Post # 231 really confuses me, the statement "Companies acquired with their stock"? I don't know of any recent acquirements??? Did I miss something? >>
I think you may have missed GenRad's announcement on April 7 of an agreement to purchase ICC for 1.2 million shares of Gen stock. There was an announcement of another complimentary acquisition 2 days later - the Valstar system unit purchase. I believe links to these stories were posted on this thread earlier in the month, but let me know if you have trouble finding the stories. That's another thing that's so puzzling: things really did seem to be shaping up nicely and Gen seemed to be firing on all cylinders. Thanks for sharing your personal experiences.
Good luck, John

john....

i also invested in
MAVK in the 17 - 18 range.
i got nervous with the low
price of oil and bailed before
the earnings release. i believe
it is a solid company which should,
imo be a solid med - long term play.
i made a play today on GEN. i chased
it slightly. i tracked it when it bounced
off 17 1/2. and it ran quickly to 18 1/2.
seems like the classic
"trickle down after the kill syndrome."
