Let's see... no history and no liquidity...

nah, i'll stick to gold. :okthumb: :salute:

btw, if the stocks can signal a sell this week and embark on a 2-3 week decline, i think there will be one more rally into October. From there it is shit sandwich again.

Well, it seems that poor Mr. Poindexter has lost his job over this one.

Another victim of the liberal communist terrorist Symbonese Liberation Army Elvis was on the Grassy Knoll conspiracy, I'm quite sure.
