I think my reaction to your post was a bit off base in light of your explanation.

By the way, I have an Iraqi friend who came here 25-years ago, and became an American citizen. How be got out of that country is story in itself, but he's in touch with family and friends there who are sending him photos and films that don't make it on TV here. Suffice it to say that things in part of Iraq are as horrific as anyone can imagine - genocide in the streets.

Funny thing is, part of my friend's family have a Jewish sir name - they don't know how that happened -, though some of them are Christian, and others are Shia. They are in grave danger, of course, as they all live within just a few miles of where the atrocities are occurring.

Looking at many events around the world these last several years, and while thinking of our leaders, I quote Edmund Burke (1729-1797). "There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue."

Indeed "forbearance" itself becomes provocative to those who would take advantage of it. ...Russia, Syria, Mexico and Central America, Taliban, ISIS, North Korea, and on and on.

...back on topic, I would look for rising share volume later in the month as a sign that JB's presentations are being positively received.
