To richard dean bagnell, Hey welcome to this thread. We've actually been discussing that with some very good posts from kollmh, telemarker and others. There aren't many posts, take a look and see if you want to give us an idea what you think. My bottom line is that it may bounce but I can't see any reason for it not to drop further before ther's a bottom.
