Bob, "(Hey, maybe we can call it the "Mouse Click Crash" since online brokers make panicky impulses so quick and easy to act upon.)" Hee, hee, hee ..... but actually that will never happen. The internet will freeze solid. It already did once back when we had that little dip in Oct. '97. I've got to believe it would only be worse now with all the new people online. Every Tom, Dick, Harry and Jane will be smacking their broker's server checking the tick by tick price move in their positions. If one needs to make a trade in a "fast moving" market, the only good way is to hoof it over to the broker's office. Which is something GTW holders should keep in mind and consider putting in stops. This stock still acts like a pink sheeter (or is that skeeter? -g-) and can move so fast on mere rumor, much less fact, that it makes your head spin. If we had a scare, GTW is guaranteed to do something crazy - like fall in half or actually rise. -g- Regards, DWW
