Update Briefs
This section does not include information from all the news releases
I receive on situations I have covered in past Recommen-dations
or Sneak Previews. If you hold such stocks, please go to WallStreetCorner-
& use "Financial Navigator." Click the "Go Search" button at the
right of the home page. Scroll down a bit, type in the symbol of
the company, & click on "Go."
You'll get the current price & volume, & at the top right of that
rectangular box, click on "News." You'll get a list of news releases.
You can either read them, or print them out, which is what I do.
You can usually get anything else you want from the pull down menus.
I include updates on only a few situations. Since you can get those
same releases, I just refer to them, & concentrate on sharing my
opinions with you. I'll continue to include contact information.
Check my "Larry Oakley's Daily Comment" section on WallStreetCorner
for more coverage. I suggest you go there daily -- it's one of the
most popular draws on the site -- thousands go there.

American Bio Medica Corp. (NASDAQ/ABMC -- CS Sneak 12/98)
was issued a patent for its Rapid One dipstick -- it individually
screens for the presence of 10 substances of abuse. Also: The conversion
of the rest of its $2.5 million Series D 8% convertible preferred
stock is now complete. Look into this one. Easy to administer tests
for drug abuse with accurate results in five minutes is unfortunately
badly needed in our present society -- I wish it weren't, but since
it is, ABMC is making a valuable contribution. Call Melissa Decker
