you know jim there is a great article that explains ftd's in layman's terms and how they *graduate* to nss
ever the ironies ~ as the sec was *confirming* the *existence* of NSS ~ last fall ~ this euro based co. <due to nss/ftd's> had the largest market cap on the planet ~ for a week or two
this was last october
i find the *patterns* revealed on rcch's *ftd's* to be very telling ~ particularly the 35M showing ~ in mid august ~
the real disgrace jim ~ is how retail has to put up with basic incompetence ~ this info shouldn't be more than 2 weeks behind ~ after all everything is *electronically* tracked ~ and processed ~
too bad *retail* has to wait until the end of march ~ to *get* the results ~ for the q ending 12/31/08
really does make one wonder just who *aids and abets* in this *toxic* mess we call the us markets ~
