Too bad, my third position was taken and my BCRX was also taken... and now it is threatening $13.45...c'est la vie. On the other hand, these sales relieve some of the "pressure, cash is once more under 10% signaling my belief that the area in the 2150/2172 on the Naz is strong support which should serve as a springboard for a nice run up here. We have a down day, yet, I managed to collect quite a few multi buckers today (NTRI, CPSI, IPII, IIIN and few daily buckers as well), a sign, that we may not be too far from a turn.

I am not sure what I can do about tomorrow, I'll have to leave around 10:00, if they let me out of few positions early in pre market and in the first half hour nice, then I can put in few additional OB's, if not, well, c'set la vie.

May 23 (Bloomberg) -- All seven people infected with bird flu in a cluster of Indonesian cases can be linked to other patients, according to disease trackers investigating possible human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus.

A team of international experts has been unable to find animals that might have infected the people, the World Health Organization said in a statement today. In one case, a 10-year- old boy who caught the virus from his aunt may have passed it to his father, the first time officials have seen evidence of a three-person chain of infection, an agency spokeswoman said. Six of the seven people have died.

Almost all of the 218 cases of H5N1 infections confirmed by the WHO since late 2003 can be traced to direct contact with sick or dead birds. Strong evidence of human-to-human transmission may prompt the global health agency to convene a panel of experts and consider raising the pandemic alert level, said Maria Cheng, an agency spokeswoman.

``Considering the evidence and the size of the cluster, it's a possibility,'' Cheng said in a telephone interview. ``It depends on what we're dealing with in Indonesia. It's an evolving situation.''

The 32-year-old father in the cluster of cases on the island of Sumatra was ``closely involved in caring for his son, and this contact is considered a possible source of infection,'' The WHO said in its statement. Three others, including the sole survivor in the group, spent a night in a ``small'' room with the boy's aunt, who later died and was buried before health officials could conduct tests for the H5N1 virus
