** At a slight tangent *** >>> What a self serving post I don't think I ever saw anyting like it before... Well, you just got to get out and surf a little more, my friend. Meanwhile, here is a short story (that I am sure has been recounted before) to keep the mind tangled all the time :-) Once upon a time there was a little sparrow who, while flying south for the winter, froze solid and fell to the ground. To make matters worse, a cow crapped on him. But the manure was warm, and it defrosted him. So there he is, he's warm and he's happy to be alive, and he starts to sing. And a hungry cat comes along and clears off the manure, finds the little bird and eats him. The moral of the story is: Everyone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy. Everyone who gets you out of crap is not necessarily your friend. And, if you're warm and happy, no matter where you are, you should just keep your big mouth shut. Add more tangent to this, there is this odd-lot index, which says that when odd-lot buying exceeds odd-lot selling, its time to maybe bail out. IMHO, we should also add 1s and 2s too to the odd lot totals. So, consider ValueSpec your friend; don't get so pissed with his posts. Regards Dinesh
