*OFF TOPIC* RE: Al Frank (the Prudent Speculator). Al Frank is supposed to have a very good track record. He picks beaten down stocks, and, on average, they do better than the market. The key is, on average. If you follow Frank's recommendations, his strength is not that any one pick will do great, but that the total of his picks should do well. He is not a technology specialist. He uses stocks from all sectors of the market, and selects stocks that he thinks will do well over the next year/2years/whatever. Many of his selections have done well. But he has losers, as well. So the fact that he happens to have selected ADPT as one of his picks doesn't have a whole lot of significance (regarding ADPT specifically). If you're going to use Al Frank as a guide, it's probably best to try to buy a basket of his recommendations, rather than one or two (if you have the funds, time to follow him, access to his picks, etc.) Hope this is helpful. Regards, and best wishes, Larry
