Hi Sara! It it so great to hear from you!!! I must admit that I had been a bit worried. No, there hasn't really been anything earth shattering of late. War with Iraq, high oil prices, and a weak dollar have been the hallmarks of late. Interestingly enough, oil stocks are not really participating as they should with the commodity price run. There are some bargains there. I started a new board that might be of interest to you that focuses on dividend stocks. I use this board as a companion for my newsletter which is also probably new to you. You will find that I use that board more and I rarely post here. The OTC market has not really been very active of late and I have grown much more interested in dividend stocks, especially since the President is spearheading the elimination of dividend taxes.
