Steve: I'm still very much in Roper in a big way. I'm somewhat to the good but rode it down from 28 to the current levels. But I agree that it's still a great longterm play so I'll be sticking around. Lately, my luck has not been the greatest. I bought Warner Lambert about two weeks ago and on the day that I made the buy, they announced one of their key drugs was being looked at by the gov't as 33 patients had died from it.....but it has recovered. Then this morning I bought some Disney. About one hour later, they announced poor earnings and the stock is down. But like Roper, I think Disney is a great longterm stock. I hope you're making a killing in this market. I couldn't believe e-bay which is now up over 80 points. Doesn't make much sense to me to I'll be happy to miss it and watch from the sidelines. Best regards, Chip
