dwight, i left to. unfortunatly with my tail between my legs and burned to a crisp. last spring usrx and coms were my lagest two holdings. they announced the merger and usrx was up 13 on the news. lets just say i was ecstatic. by morning that feeling was replaced by something a little uglier as usrx gave that up plus 7 more by days end. the street didn't like the combo and killed it. its amazing to me that you can take two companies that were growing vry nicely, put them together and whallah(spelling) you stop groth all together and actually shrink revenues. happy trading today. should be fun to watch. js
