Repligen - RGEN - Long
like GILD this is a long term.

Good luck to everyone this week. Sorry I missed the opening gate this week. Retired Friday, and been soooooo busy. Work and visiting Proboards were a piece a cake compared to first days of retirement.  |

VB, congratulations on your retirement. It will take some time to get adjusted with new "keep busy" projects. Don't want that old rocking chair to get you. Enjoy your new found freedom!

Two more days to go. The way this crazy market is swinging, nothing is secure. Perhaps new earning reports will help stabilize the market IF they come in a bit better than last quarter. We're in luck if we do not have any more wild swings this week.
