AV -- I hope you weren't speaking for me because I don't think futures are crap or a waste of time. All investment strategies and vehicles are welcome here so we can broaden our horizons and not be as narrowly focused on a particular segment of investing. STOCK Swap or not, I hope we do not narrowly focus on what we discuss here. I have been off line all day fixing the PC since I got tired of the small laptop keyboard. I do not know what has happened today and will not log off until I catch up. As for me, I am 98% up. I just have to transfer my bookmarks to this version of Netscape. No problems were encountered and all is looking real good. It was IE40 that caused all these issues. So, all I know now is that you are miffed and that a great run past 11,300 was made in my absence. Cool on the run but everyone needs to take a deep breath. Myself included since the previous post to Kevin wasn't as upbeat as it could have been. SFAM is up nicely today and those invested have been well rewarded. However, as far as mopping the floor with IPEC certificates, don't let one day cloud your judgement. Certainly taking these profits of 27% and rolling them into another high performance profit center would be the thing to do. Remember, it can go down as fast as it went up. I will remind you that any share I would hold in that stock would have been dumped before the close of the market today based on the 27% return. Take profits when presented in a real short time. SFAM fits that category. So did DPMI a day or two ago. Andrew
