senor and others---yes, i live. barely, me thinks. you cannot imagine the frustration of being as totally occupied as i have been this past month traveling on business, trying to get my own private venture up and running and moving my existing business into three times larger quarters. i just wish i could have had more time to help AIM manage me through these troubled waters. unfortunatly, a great deal of my holdings sank quicker than my grandmas boobs when she takes her bra off. cash was eaten up at a too quick pace and now seemingly as the market has reached or neared bottom i am cashless in california. improper management on placing gtc orders instructed by AIM caused me to miss sells on ADAC and XLNX. within two days of hitting their sell prices, both stocks were off over 23%!!! and, of course in the past week both have rallied over 15%. ah, missed opportunities. besides your acknowledged good looks, i guess the thing i envy most about you is the TIME you have. congratulations. what a great luxury. things are finally starting to settle down and i now get to try to rebuild and recapture. spent some time this pm reading on VLSI's announcements. doesn't it seem strange to you that there is seemingly all this good news about new products and potential and yet in the past 60 days the coo resigns for personal reasons and the cfo leaves for bigger (and greener?) pastures. do you think there is any risk left in IDTI? how many buys did you get on BSX's most recent fall? i only got one this week which was nice at @$47 3/4 since i sold the same shares a few weeks ago @$81 and change. this is my first (and hopfully last) experience with "el toro." a good learning experience as i got to see some axioms i had heard about for many years up close and personal. how about, "just because a stock drops in value 50% or more doesn't mean it can't keep going down?" bruce, i think i read (actually, all i've been doing is scanning) a recent post of yours about being greedy this summer and now paying the price. i will join you at the blackboard. you can write, "i WILL take profits," and i will be writing right behind you, "when AIM tells me to!" hope all is well with all and i'll try to keep caught up if the boogeyman doesn't reposess my computer. s.k.
