Dave: You are right on the day trading. It is a crap shot. Sometimes you can roll a 7 and other times you crap out. I've bought and sold PFE at least six times since the news of Viagra first hit the street. I've made a modest profit. At the moment I sit with PFE at 116 1/2 so I'm not doing much day trading but I'm not worrying either. It will be back after the dog days of August are behind us. In terms of your message to me, I don't blame management and am not sure where you got that idea. I think Pfizer is doing an excellent job. Do I believe that the stock market is manipulated? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. Can the voice of the little guy be heard. Perhaps. The better approach is organized voices. We have many examples. At the moment, I'm not sure what I might have an objection to. It amazes me the little things that cause this market to go whacko but I'm getting use to it. If Pfizer does not have an investor relations, then they should seriously consider having such a position. I don't know if they do or not. I wouldn't call if they did but many people need that personal contact and if you invest a substantial sum of money into a company then perhaps they owe you a duty to have such a position. Just two more weeks of these dog days and the market will be back as bullish as ever. The bears can start looking for a hibernation log. Ron P.S. I have never played options. Someone told me that playing options was much like playing roulette or as Bo said three things can happen when you pass the football and two are bad. Keep The Faith! Ron
