Well, if it isn't my old friend Lufkinunit coming up with a sterling suggestion! Hey, I've looked all over my atlas for a town called "Lufkinunit" in Texas, and I can't find one! Didn't you tell someone on one of these boards recently that your handle made it obvioius where you were from? Well, I guess it's just not so darn obvious - not to all of us anyhow! You wouldn't be one of these Texas "wannabe" guys, would you, 'unit?

No one (alive) can fill BigPic's shoes, he has a style all his own. Maybe one of more of the dead Paulson's can lend a hand from the beyond. I give ole Pic a hard time every now and then, but the guy comes through with many thought-provoking posts, and his market commentaries are actually quite entertaining, and more often than not, right - I mean, a guy can't be right all the time. He certainly took more stuff than he deserved over at SH.

But if you guys want to talk thoroughbreds, golf courses/swings, California real estate, ELH, politics (just kidding) or want to read some killer jokes.... and, what the heck, no one's gonna be making money on ECU tomorrow, but it's had a few nice days lately. And so has the CNDX, overdue, but very, very welcome.
