BB, *** OT ***
This reminds me of a story about an old man who put up a big wooden trap to catch wild turkeys. Three turkeys came in right away to
eat the bait, then 4 more for a total of 7. But he held out for
10, so he didn't trigger the trap door. Then 2 wandered out again, then 1 more. He had the trap open with 4 turkeys inside. He said
to himself "I'll wait till 2 more go in". 3 wandered out and his
goal shifted to 3 turkeys. Then the last one left.

That's how some of us - guess who - invest.<vbG>
