Thanks, I am glad a few people got it. "Trading Places" is one of my all time favorite movies. It starts with Dan Aykroyd reading the WSJ, and he says "mmm, pork bellies, I think something very exciting is going to happen in the pork belly market today" which had me ROFL (and hence my reference in the original post to the Duke & Duke firm going 'belly' up) and I don't think I stopped laughing till the end. You are correct about RAIN, I was out of it for a while but recently got back in. As far as Minnesota companies, I worked for one, Cray Research, for 10 years before it got bought out by SGI so certainly some of them have not been the best investments. But there are some good ones there, a couple I like now are ORPH and ADCT. As for Ancor shareholders, I still hope that someday we get to the end bit, relaxing on our yachts, sipping drinks or whatever with our wifes/husbands/girlfriends/boyfriends/etc. and the servant asks do we want the lobster or steak for lunch and we all look at each other and reply "let's have both". And finally I think we have heard the last from our friend Beeks for a while. He is sailing back to Africa, it seems that a few years ago he had a mid-life crisis and as a result developed a keen interest in gorillas, even worked with Dion Fossey for a while in the late 80s.
