Bert I am still getting email back from your site. Let me know if you have any ideas as to what to do.

 
HEC may dash hopes this time. I bought some too, and must have gotten the fill at Waterhouse about the same time that Andy did. I use Waterhouse because they have a Weiss rating of B+ for reserves and stability. I think that this is important, because when I lived in NYC and bummed around with Wall Street types, there was a guy named Tiny DeAngeles who damn near broke the NY Stock Exchange by fraud committed at a couple of small brokers. Ironicly he was one of the people I was inspecting for the army in Jersey. It was a fraud involving tank farms of soy bean oil and olive oil that was not unlike the Billy Sol Estes fraud with liquid nitrogen fertilizer, only infinatlly LARGER. Anyway he broke a couple of small brokers and the Natl Org of Stockbrokers insurance payed off the people who had stocks with them in street name. But, I was told by several of my Wall Street friends that had it been a couple of large brokerage houses, it might have been considerably different. There just isn't enough money to insure all accts or even most accts. And then over I think a million is insured by Aetna. Give me a break. This is the blind trying to help the crippled.
Getting back to HEC. IF you look at the Imark stuff on the ThompsonFN site you can see that the buying started around 12-15 and now has stopped. BUT very little selling either. So this thing could go either way. I somewhat pessimesstic because oil prices seem to be falling and are predicted to fall substancally next year, which I think may prove to be terribly wrong.

 
Bert, on Clearstation I watch the guy LEVMATICS seems to have some good plays once in a while. I also watch Capt7eag, SUPERANDO, unclebert, dynodino, and quisp... What are your bottom and middle charting indicators? Top was candlestick, middle was bop? My brain cell could not remember. Tom, bought small amount of HEC and my lovely TD Waterhouse got me in at 1.25 when it opened at 1.07. Gotta love that crap....... Market orders / Limit orders or should it be called small guy to the back of the line order?

 
Today PFE bought a little pissed ass bio tech company no one had heard of and paid over 50% of closing price for it. Other little pissed ass companies that you haven't heard of that may be desirable for one of the big guys are LIPD (new way to lower cholesterol with a IV injection that seperates lipids and proteins. But, the big kicker here is that doing this may also inhibit or destroy some viruses that depend on a lipid sheath. Like Hepatitis B & C and AIDS. It is up almost 10% today in sympathy. Also VSGN has a drug in Stage 3 which stops inflamation in the heart and arteries. It is up almost 13% today. Does anyone know of a fund where you can buy a bunch of small biotechs at once other than BBH?
