toothpase:-) Geeze, I see four of my stocks on that list...and it is resonable to expect that all four of my darts will miss...just part of the game. I remember the first one I ever owned, CNSI...I think Cerestat led me to NTII and now I find myself in PARS...and CORX (tho not for trauma). I think it is okay for highly risk tolerant people like myself (who do not happen to be in the field) to speculate in the CNS/neuros. There is a whole generation of folks ahead of me who are doing a terrific job of maintaining their bodies...and you know their brains will wear out first. These boomers are watching their parents slip into senility (and worse) right now. Over the next couple decades I am sure you will see some of that money slosh from wherever it is now (probably computers and internet stocks) into biotechnology. Probably the best way to play it is to buy out of the money calls on the more popular neuros that the biotech funds are in--when the market occassionally has it's corrections etc. Since I have stopped playing with options (and probably a lot of the biotech stocks dont even have options anyway) I look for long shot micro cap neuros. --MM

The reason I asked is that Michael J Fox will do for Parkinson's research funding what Christofer Reeves did for Spinal Cord injury research. And yes, he has been hiding this for seven years now. Makes you really appreciate your health. Stocks/money/wealth doesn't mean very much if you don't have your health. I never take it for granted. I own CORX not only because I believe in the stock (or make that I once believed in the stock). It also just feels good to know that your investment might actually really help people (find their dentures) - :) vb
