Say it ain't so !! <g> cbs.marketwatch.com "Adding to the gravity of the situation, our channel checks indicate that K6-2 400 MHz based Compaqs, priced at about $1,500, are not selling well," Kumar said. He also noted that while Gateway plans to use AMD chips in PCs sold in Japan, those units will amount to less than 10 percent of Gateway's computer sales.

Mike, have you done any serious thinking about Neurogen lately? I have bought back in 1/3 after the disappointment a few days ago with results on an anxiety compound (was very lucky to get out of a 14's to 17's trade a few days before!)... but this is at least the third, possibly the fourth, time I've bought NRGN in such a situation, relying on their pipeline, and while they were all good for 50% or more over a period of months to a year, you have to wonder when you keep getting these "buying opportunities"? You may want to check the Neurogen thread; some interesting though inconclusive exchanges there. Would appreciate your recent thoughts on CEGE, especially their financial position; I'm becoming more and more convinced they have extremely interesting technology and am trying to keep exposed to them (though I just flipped my last third today.) (Did you know the program that handles Waterhouse's online trading is called "flipper.cgi" -g-? I like a brokerage--- or a programmer--- with a sense of humor! Cheers, HB

One more thing, re neurobiotech, seems worthwhile checking out this site (for an expensive newsletter): neuroinvestment.com Some of the freebies might be of use, e.g. the .pdf issue from Nov. 97 has an interesting list of companies that can serve as a reminder of how much competition there is in this area (and most other areas, probably) of biotech!
