vincenzo posts. Yes, this is a good sign. It's almost like you live close enough to Neo and regularly peek in the windows of the R&D team like a peeping dung-beetle, there to confirm your suspicions. :o) My eyes are "OPEN WIDE SHUT" waiting for the suspense! This stale piece of dung that's rolled up in the corner might finally flower soon. :) HEX

Atlanta Madness I have been watching with deep sorrow the tragedy in Atlanta. Senseless violence is always tragic. However, watching CNBC coverage of the event and listening to ignorant and self-serving reporters speak of subjects (daytrading) as if they knew something about it, is revolting. The attack on Harvey during his interview was disgusting. This man has done more for all small traders than anyone in history. I trade on an Alltech floor every day and the training and support that I received and still receive everyday is tremendous. Trading is a business and there is always a period of learning and adjustment. You invest in yourself as you would in any business. My deepest sympathies for all the families involved in this incident. thedewar
