SW et al, Been in and out of BEAR several times during the last couple of weeks. Fairly easy pickin's! Thinking it was a Valentine's Day play, I mainly just watched the charts, vol., and graphs. Got to looking a little closer and these folks are gearing up for year round supply, and after all, what time of the year isn't it good to get a teddy bear. A recent release had these two paragraphs in it that impressed me: Just think: a personalized teddy bear, dressed to commemorate your special occassion, delivered the next day, and guaranteed for life! Hmmmm?
