Not necessarily a new thread , just a smaller collective effort, loosely focussed of After hours events and market activity....with MyTai in hand, of course! The evening when ISLD announced the news with SUNW & INKT I posted it 3 times, and there were plenty of shares to be had for under $80. But the "din" and noise on this thread was drowning.<gggg> Just can't concieve hanging out with the computer,after hours without one eye glancing over for significant announcements. but there's Too many to watch out for or to have an accurate feel for . I have followed ISLD alot. That News was huge, and a great big gimmie in the am. I felt. The "after hours club", relaxed but with an eye on the market, as they should be . Not Recess. It's a real good feeling to have 2kshrs, on one that goes 50pts.... :-) 2MAR$
