Volume was actually low until we hit the 112 area. I don't think any institutions were selling.

Here's my nutty guess on today's action. Tax payments are due day after tomorrow. If you have a tax bill to pay, why compound the unpleasant by selling your losers? Much better to sell a winner, take a nice profit, write that check and smile all the way to the post office.

Hey, last week they were talking about last-minute IRA contributions driving the market up, which is pretty far-fetched since hardly anyone makes last-minute contributions and the limit is only $2k.

Bob, what LEAPS are you looking at? I might finally take the plunge.

<< Thread, correct me if I'm wrong: does any of SEPR's pipeline of licensed and co-promoted or self-developed drugs deal with urinary incontinence (ICE for oxybutynin)--I didn't think so...>>

From the Sepracor web site (http://www.sepracor.com/html/3.science/therap.html)

Sepracor's Urology Drugs:
(S)-oxybutynin - a potential treatment for
urinary incontinence with potentially reduced
anticholinergic side effects including dry mouth,
restlessness, nausea and heart palpitations.
(S)-oxybutynin will progress to Phase IIb trials in
early 1999.

(S)-doxazosin - a potential BPH treatment with
potentially decreased orthostatic hypotension
compared to Cardura®.
