Frank-Vegas-Johnny G ... I hope you're all pounding down a brewski tonight as I wound up being one of the guys funding the celebration parties going on amongst the ABOV'rs ! I have been sitting on the fence with regards to ABOV & EXDS ... and yesterday afternoon decided to wait late Tuesday or Wednesday to finally buy in. Of course after hearing & reading the news at 07:00 EST this morning I tried to buy at the open and it cost me $99 bucks per copy to join the party. Congratulations to all of you better - faster - smarter investors than me ! But what the hell, it's only money and I figure it's better getting to the party a little late than never and I'm now strapped in for probably a very choppy ride until 5-7. Thanks for all of the great posts guys ! Gardener
