Damn, I figured your meeting ended hours ago. Pathetic performance on MCOM. Does this submarine have an Enigma machine on it. Clear sailing perhaps. I have so much MCOM now, we may be using it for fuel on this submarine. Is the submarine 'yellow' by any chance? EDIT: Interesting finish, people will feel good about the weekend I guess. MCOM acted a little differently near end, seems the mm's took it where they wanted it and AH looking over 14, should open Mon, depending on the market mood, near 14 (maybe better) if the market is nice. Have a great weekend. It's snowing here.
