LongSFMI,

Sorry about the contest. At least you won't come in any lower than 4th. Since there's no real prize involved other than bragging rights, I'll root for an upswing in the sp as soon as possible, no matter who wins. As far as flies, I was of course refering to the now famous episode in which our prez swatted a buzzing fly during an interview. It's the only time I've ever seen Fox News and PETA agree, with both condemning such a dastardly act!

I too was both bored and puzzled by today's trading. Just three trades. Interesting, though that there seem to be more and more larger trades. It's possible that someone is playing the bid/ask gap, but my guess would be that someone(s) is accumulating. I'm not sure how many more shares will be available at these prices.
