Hi William, I call my local Regional Medical Center last week to see if they have a Scanner. The said no, so I asked why. They told me the Scanner cost $2 Million and the procedure brings in $500 per person. This is not cost effective for the hospital. In reflecting back, it seems that all the Scanners are sold to major Medical Centers such as Universities and Government hospitals. So, if this is all true, the market for the Scanner is limited, unless the cost is brought down. I believe it was you who made this point in earlier posting. Great technology, large world wide markets, and limited sales due to cost of the Scanner. Not good from a investment point. Stock Bull

William Epstein, are YOU A child? I'm not, but I am a gambler. I will at least admit it, oh thats right, you're an INVESTOR. Look, I've made quite a bit of money "investing" in stocks but I allocate a certain amount of risk capital that is meant for winning big or loosing my bet. This is how I make money GAMBLING on internet stocks and risky options plays. I am not dreaming, it's possible that SEG goes to $45 by friday, not likely, but possible. I don't want to hurt your ego but your quote of "haven't you read what i've said" is quite funny in that you would assume anyone would blindly listen to you as if you are some kind of a guru. You said: "The specialist will usually drop the price just after the earnings report to absorb selling pressure" Thats non-sense....you sound like an inexperienced high school student with words like that. It doesn't matter what the specialist does if there are buyers they are going to buy the stock regardless of where the specialist is. Thanks but, no thanks.
