Sounds Good, Ole Pro. Just let me know if you ever want to do a check for you on some of the premium memberships on IBD. I like the "under 10 dollar) points.
am always trying to pick up the next big thing - and UA has good chance of being it. we'll see - but love being in stocks where I believe in the product. Under Armour clothing is like no other - it's simply the best for sports. These new shoes cold take the shoe industry by storm - very innovative - just like their performance wear was/is.
