...and immediately sold them except for tippet, the boys over on the Asia thread were not too impressed with the purchase, fortunately, did not lose anything in those warrants--tho KL did give back everything it had gained just this past day. As far as the SOA, it was my guess that we might see gold start to take off, and gold is down today, so there is no sense in being in that cef if gold stays dead. Funny, you would think that with these rolling devaluations, gold might come to life, but greenbacks and marks still get all the attention. Hey, if rates go low enough, maybe I'll have to bite on one of those home equity adverts that show up everyday--and buy stocks with the money Ha ha. eom

So here is the corrected list, and I added the price at which I bought them... ARIA, Ariad...3 5/16 ARIAW, Ariad warrants...1/4 FSENX, Fidelity Select Natural Gas Fund...12 1/2 GZTC, Genzyme Transgenics...5 23/32 NTII, Neurobiological Tech...1 1/8 PCTH, Pacific Aerospace...3 13/32 SIBI, Sibia Neurosciences...4 TGEN, Targeted Genetics...1 9/16 For some reason Repligen got dropped, but I only had a trivial amount of that anyway. PCTH is the latest addition--mainly because I got bored with waiting to see the chart turn up...seems to have stopped going down at least. Bought all three-thirds at once, definately the sign of somebody who has been floudering in this market, and is flailing/ grasping. Also, finished liquidating the swebf disaster. Regarding immediatedly having dumped ewm and soa, here is the link on the Asia thread where I compiled the reactions over there Message 5543765 I still think SOA is okay to buy when gold turns up, you get some exposure to gold and the price has really been whacked, plus a discount to nav...if I ever put new money in, maybe I'll look at it again. Here is a link for gold price: cnnfn.com I think I need to spend less time following this junk--and more time outdoors, I see I am fast hurtling toward post 100 on my lonely thread. The important thing to watch out for is when this hobby crosses over to a genuine gambling addiction: I think since no money has come out of my pocket to trade this year (and having closed the option account and the datek account) I'd guess I'm only about halfway there. eom
