CMED/TAVA... 'In its Fourth Annual Healthcare Technology Survey, information technology law firm Gordon & Glickson of Chicago found that 30 percent of the 1,600 hospitals surveyed hadn't even begun to develop a Year 2000 strategy. That was a slight improvement from last year's numbers. "Hospitals need to rapidly move beyond the initial assessment phase and begin Year 2000 conversion immediately," says Diana J.P. McKenzie, partner at Gordon & Glickson. "Otherwise, they face major shortages in qualified programmers, increased costs, failed systems and, ultimately, legal threats." . . . Hospitals are especially vulnerable because of their reliance upon embedded systems in monitoring equipment and other mission-critical systems. "What's even scarier is that no one knows if the power is going to go out," says Chase. "We may have hospitals running on emergency power." . . . ... year2000.dci.com

Jim: I think there will still be considerable price volatility for this issue, and for a number of the OTC stocks, over the next couple months, so I'll probably still day-trade 'em until the 3Q, at which point I think we'll be able to assess how well TAVA is executing on the "big strategy" and I can decide whether or not to jump back in with both feet! I think there will be a number of other opportunities in the coming months to grab shares in the high 8's/low 9's (along with periods in the low teens!). Hang on, it's going to be a hilly ride!
