Razor, no offense taken. I didn't intend to sound critical of Novo in the least. She did not even come to mind as I was writing. I thought she had said she was not even involved in pennies and therefor would not have any chance to learn about these subjects previously. My insults were directed at those who continue to trumpet the "Naked Short" theory even though there is no evidence that it exists and plenty of evidence that management is the culprit. Actually, I don't even find naked shorting a very compelling theory.
I wish I could forget my IFTA roots. They remain with me and require weekly and sometimes daily attention. If their ever was a gullible sucker, it was me. However, in my own defense, I will say it did not take me long to wake up.
