Cedar, I think your right on NR being closer to PP close date. Are the US markets closed both Thur and Fri. and is it open for a full day tomrrow or a half day? The low volume has been pecking away at our SP. I am thinking one more day of bargains then perhaps a few upticks at close. Yes it  is like lovemaking. The difference between rape and making love is salesmanship. Boy, the dollar took another hit today. Gold ^^^up.
