The recommend thingy will not work for me! Why? I have no idea! As for your conspiracy theory, can't recall what it is at the moment but do remember thinking there are conspiracies involved with all this. Such is normal business practice for some of the various participants (could even be thought of as good business practice in some quarters). I did speak to this much earlier this evening though (the leek theory stuff). In fact, given that there are some (or many) out there who like (desire and even feel they need to ) to be in control (of others business), then the more varied the number of conspiators and agendas involved the better for us individual investors. So, What think you? Old Joe
