Zen,
I was in consulting for a while, and it can be tough trying to keep up with your stocks. We were implementing ERP systems with KPMG. (Due to congressional oversight, that part of KPMG is now Accenture.) My last job was in the Albany, NY area.

Anyway, I would spend lots of time on my lap top at night just trying to see what was happening for the day. I missed selling into several runs completely. When trying to buy a stock, I was never sure I got a fill until late in the day or at night. Using pre-set limits on sell orders became standard, and I tried to buy at or near a bottom, so I did not worry too much about the downside. It is a tough way to live when you are trading the market.

Finally my consulting career came to an end in 1999 when the bubble burst. After I was laid off, I started making some nice profits in the market, so I decided to give up the job search permanently. (I was approaching retirement age anyway.) So far, it has worked out very well.

Hi Zen,

Glad to hear that you found work that you like. The hazardous waste consulting sounded like slow daily ingestion of arsnic- sort of OK today but not too good down the road.

Glad to hear that you are holding BIPH and still feel it is safe enough or at least worth the risk. To me, it seems like just time now before they shine.

All the best,

Stuki
