Jeff, I like what you said, however I think I made a good point about the potential for hurt when accusations are made.Also,my daughter's back in the hospital, so I'm aware of feeling particularly sensitive.... I'm doing very little trading right now, as the amount of reading I've had to do in order to educate myself about how the internet works has been overwhelming. I did buy 200 RAZF on its IPO date last week at 34 and sold half on Friday at 54. I'll hold the rest for a while. I've been reading up on ASTN for an intermediate to long term hold. A little late to the ASTN party, I admit! Still, the company and its plans intrigue me. I'm looking forward to our first Sunday night chat in a while. From the number of PM's i've gotten, it looks to be a crowded room. I'm looking forward to your stock talk, Jeff, and will be happy to talk QCOM, ATHM, CSCO, ELNK and MSPG with anyone who's interested in the longer term.

TJ NBTY In retrospect, my NBTY/BOSTQ comparison was way too harsh. I dont want to give the impression that I think NBTY will fail...Actually, I believe it is a great investment if one is a LONG (LONG!) term investor. The CEO has stated they expect to see continued weakness in earnings thru '99 and possibly into 2000. One would probably be wiser to buy 6 mo's from now (at the same or lower price). Having said that, it will probably close above 8 next week! :) Regards, G. P.S. With your permission. I'd like to present a DD to your board if I may.
