Good afternoon RSHN. I see everyone counting their chickens before they hatch. Best of success! Hope we all enjoy a very comfortable retirement where we have enough for our families and charities. There`s an old saying on Wall St. that I follow with all my trades and investments. Perhaps it may help someone else to. " Bulls and Bears make money; Pigs get slaughtered " I too, am looking forward to this week for RSHN trading with news! I`d like to share a true story. I bought an oil stock in 1981 at 3.00. The stock moved up to 9.00 and then news came out they were being bought out for 30.00. It was trading at 29.00 for weeks waiting for the deal to close. I didn`t sell a share. One morning they stopped trading at 24.00. The price of oil and natural gas fell down. Well that ended the buyout. We were trading in 1/8 increments at the time. I worked on the floor of the NYSE. We were not allowed to make outside call from the floor. By the time I got to a pay phone outside the exchange, waited 15 minutes to use the phone. There were no cell phone yet. I sold my stock at 3 and changed. Wiped out. Have a great weekend! Frank
