Thank you Winston, 

and I'm on your track as far as health care/pharma.  Which is part of
the point:  I'm not talking about buying in the near term at all.  They
continue to bottom further, which I translate to the sweet spot getting
even sweeter.  Let 'em keep dropping.  I just want to be poised at the
turn on a select few.

(Speaking of boomers, you'll never know how much I hated, albeit
briefly, being referred to as "Old Duke"!! Thank God he's gone.)

Duke:

I believe that you are on the right track.

The concern that I have with "health care/pharma" type of companies is
these appear to be under the magnifying glass now, and all the warts and
moles are coming into view. It makes me believe that many of what one
may view as the obvious potential leaders here may end up as a small
division of some unknown company after the mob is through with them. For
example, six months ago, BMY was clearly a leader in drugs. Today all
that I hear is how much they juggled the books and clinical studies and
the price drops day by day.

The high end housing still looks good, and TOL is the leader in that
group. The builders of houses is still very fragmented, as the largest
builder in the country only controls 2 to 3% of the total market.  Much
consolidation action is in place as the larger companies buy out several
of the smaller ones. BBBY will go along with housing cycling.
