Though I must agree that the "insufferability index" is at an all time high and entering overbought territory with a dramatic increase in the S/N ratio and a projected precipitous decline in "yield."

They also suggest ignoring any declarations on the part of the equities involved without adequate data to back-up company claims. End Alert.
