Thanks for updating the game poochy. I expected to have have slid much further back and I was already lamenting being further away from you. Probably be further back after today! But it's amazing how much I learn by selecting and monitoring my Poochy Shares. I only chose Rolls Royce because it was clearly a dog....... but not nearly so good looking as you, pooch. However, the dog could bark today.

Vasey,

How does it feel to be sandwiched between Pooch and GDUB?

(:-o

.

Hey Pooch - that's quite a rise for you today :) It's going to be an interesting end to the week I think.

Ash - missionary (ie dressed as nuns)or doggy (with dog chocs) Hahahahahahahahahaa ! ROFLMAO

Open Long Barc 20k
Open Long BP. 12k
Open Long Tsco 20k

CHEAT .... GD has inside information, he banks with Barclays, shops at Tesco and puts BP in his car.

Hello everyone

Just checking in from Poland to see how my fine investment decisions are working out.... lol

No chance to trade here, the internet is running a bit slow, but it's been fun watching the FTSE madness and not being able to do anything!!

Will check in again soon...

PS Hi vasey... are you missing me, or didn't you notice my absence?

Hi GDub... hope all is cool with you and nice to see you still near the top of the rankings.. you Yoda of the stockmarket!!

Missing you???!!! I've been doing all sorts of things to get my name up in big letters so my name would be noticed by you!!! Typical you notice Gdub but not me!!!(sob!)

Come back soon so we can co-ordinate next week's choices...............

Hello andycarr hope your having a nice time in Poland, what's the weather like up there?

Mr Ash, Oh Dear! :-(

:-)

Hi vasey

Thank goodness you know what you are doing on the Trading game... or the Scots Socks would be in even poorer shape. Grab your new passport and we could discuss next week's choices over a glass of 'proper' Vodka!!

Hi GD

It's pretty chilly here... -5 yesterday and occasional snow. Warsaw is a wicked city though. Congrats on your fine performance on the trading game... rumours of insider trading...? You'll be ok.. I saw on CNBC yesterday they are trying to pass a bill to make it legal!!!

andy: I spent 10 months in Russia as a student, plus 2 stints of 6 months working first in Siberia and then in Moscow so I have plenty of experience of the real stuff - not that flavoured stuff the Poles call vodka! It could be more than the odd glass .......

Think I will be sliding down the game table next time it's updated, but it has been a fun week.

-5 Hey! Well it's lovely and sunny here with blue skies, infact im just off to the garden to practice my golf swing again. Try not to drink too much Vodka, oh go on then.

Vasey, You see you and andy are perfect for each other!

GD,

Well pooch I am screwed!

Elan Announces Receipt of FTC Inquiry Relating to Skelaxin

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2003--

Elan Corporation, plc (NYSE: ELN) ('Elan') announced today that it
received notification, late yesterday, from the U.S. Federal Trade
Commission ('FTC') that the FTC's Bureau of Competition has commenced
an investigation to determine whether Elan or any other person has
engaged in unfair methods of competition with respect to
Skelaxin(TM)(metaxalone). As previously announced, Elan has agreed to
sell its primary care franchise (principally its U.S. and Puerto Rican
rights to Sonata(TM)(zaleplon) and Skelaxin(TM)) to King
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: KG) ('King'). King also received the FTC
notification. The closing of the primary care transaction is subject
to approval by Elan's shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting
of shareholders to be held on for March 18, 2003, and to other
customary closing conditions. Elan is currently reviewing the FTC
notification and is evaluating its potential impact on the closing of
the transaction.

Elan is focused on the discovery, development, manufacturing, selling
and marketing of novel therapeutic products in neurology, pain
management and autoimmune diseases. Elan shares trade on the New York,
London and Dublin Stock Exchanges.

This document contains forward-looking statements about Elan's
financial condition, results of operations and business prospects that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these
statements by the fact that they use words such as 'anticipate',
'estimate', 'project', 'envisage', 'intend', 'plan', 'believe' and
other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any
discussion of future operating or financial performance or events.
Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described herein are the following: the outcome of Elan's
recovery plan and its ability to maintain flexibility and maintain
sufficient cash, liquid resources, and investments and other assets
capable of being monetized to meet its liquidity requirements; the
impact of the FTC investigation relating to Skelaxin on Elan and its
previously announced agreement to sell its primary care franchise; the
risk that Elan's shareholders will fail to approve the sale of the
primary care franchise, that regulatory approvals and third party
consents necessary to consummate the sale will not be received on a
timely basis, or at all, or that the further conditions necessary to
consummate the sale will not be satisfied on a timely basis, or at
all; the outcome of the ongoing SEC investigation and shareholder
litigation; the success of research and development activities and the
speed with which regulatory authorizations and product launches may be
achieved; competitive developments affecting Elan's current products;
the ability to successfully market both new and existing products;
difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the ability to meet generic
and branded competition after the expiration of Elan's patents; trend
towards managed care and health care cost containment; possible
legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing; exposure to product
liability and other types of lawsuits; Elan's ability to protect its
intellectual property; interest rate and foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations; governmental laws and regulations affecting
domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations; general
changes in US and Irish generally accepted accounting principles;
growth in costs and expenses; changes in product mix; and the impact
of acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and
other unusual items. A further list and description of these risks,
uncertainties and other matters can be found in Elan's Annual Report
on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, and in its
Reports of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K. Elan assumes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
