Thanks J, The article pretty well accentuates what I have been trying to say. The entire rebate program is HUGE ( sorry polvie ). I have been accused of HYPING RMBS, my accusers are wrong, they left out BESEECHED, URGED, PLEADED, BEGGED etc. As much as I like the Q, RMBS will make it look like a Furniture Mfg. before this run is over. THIS IS WHERE THE NEXT GREAT FORTUNES WILL BE MADE. I paraphrase but I believe it was Helena in " All's Well That Ends Well " who said: " I do beseech you sir, our means will make us means ". Selah, Voltaire
