Cannuck Dave, allow me to respond: DOSE is in my e-com category sub category health. When apparell and catalog stocks were moving, DOSE moved somewhat on that trend. If planning to hold DOSE, see where it is fundamentally and in what niche to see if you still like the co vis-a-vis the competition. Then do TA for timing. If planning to trade, only diff is time frame over which you look at the stock. Fundamentally any co can be a piece of crap, but if the co moves, who cares. Time frame wise: -For a few days hold:DOSE just turned negative and I would wait to buy -For weeks hold: still positive, but likely you can still buy cheaper Sorry i got a lot to do now, but hope that helps

Canuck Dave, I worked for JNJ for ten years in a variety of positions and mostly follow the big pharma and a few biotechs. I don't know much about Pharmerica, but I have a colleague who helped start Apria Healthcare and knows this part of the industry. I'll see what I can find out. Chart doesn't look too special and 1998 insider trades seem to be mostly sales. In terms of big pharmas, PFE, LLY, and WLA look like they have great pipelines and would fit well into any long term portfolio. I don't find that they trade very well. JNJ is struggling a bit right now and while I'm not hot on MRK, they always seem to pull the rabbit out of the hat. FWIW, Dave
