smitter....the only thing I can figure is with the recent bounce for what we pay for gas,oil and nat gas and some of the talk on TV on what gas could shoot up to, could be part of the reason for the uptick in volume and PPS.People that think it will run want to get in early. Like I said in my post last week, something must be up. Like you say, I dont know anything either!!! Just my opinion...Do your own dd.
