Hi Stak: I use to be on here all the time, but lost interest with cube - sometimes better off to not watch for awhile. Now - fired up again so....here I am! I like the stock and feel someday it will hit the top - it did once and it can and will do it again. I just posted another message asking for advice again. The tech terms are way out of my league. The people on this thread have always been helpful - like their honesty - one knows you take it or leave it. I have learned alot on here. Thanks for the advice. Sunshine
