Guys (gals, too)...

Do yourselves, and me, a favor.. Forget about Ray, put him on ignore, don't discuss him, and he'll go and take his crap elsewhere.

JP might be regrettable less participatory on this thread, but I would like to continue to engage in the same spirited and insightful market analysis which originally drew me to this thread in the first place.

A successful penetration of that level could take the Nasdaq to 2,000, where it will likely fail later this fall in the midst of mutual fund tax loss realization.
