t/u, nice BUTT I still'd like a ride to da moon! :) speaking of to da moon a quick breakdown of my trading history- 14,800 cash invested $67 currently I will rot in hell before I sell the last 175 OTC POS shares I have. Soon as I sell, they'll go to da moon! I've witnessed this happen repeatedly, I don't miss trading one bit! I soook at it! :(
