Rose: I was thinking the same thing. Why is this guy hyping his habitual stock on the NVAL thread? Lots of good news about NVAL, but the stock sits there, doing not a blessed thing. In due time all those baby boomers are going to go to get their glasses checked. Profits! Yeah. I see them posted in BIG, BOLD, ITALICIZED letters and the price per share in double digits. So much for my vision...heheh. Judy
