Tommaso, SRS is volatile enough to add an edge on to the normal gamble that is inherent in investing - that's for sure.

especially if one moves away from the SRS real time quote screen. ;-)

it is a double edged sword, though. when i went into SRS, i consdiered the volatility a benefit - if it dropped to $38, we would only be a couple days away from $50. in a normal stock, you'd be looking at many months to recover, not a couple days.

imho, $38 was no more real than $109 (both prices SRS has hit in the last 45 days).
