Joe, I still think KCAP has some legs left...volume slowed and the bid remained strong though the day. Did not downtick from 2 1/16 from like noon on...should move in the morning, but it is up a lot in the last week, so it may not hold...but still looking good for the open. About time we had a BB stock that went up and STAYED up. Ryan members.xoom.com
