Hey Rocco: Two great posts that lay out the real picture. I absolutely agree with you that it is important to the QC govt and is early in its infancy, that one year is not much in the big picture but just as important and an issue that I wasn't thinking of was this opportunity to write down and present a loss capital loss for tax purposes. So i would imagine that with the shorts bailing and no new news on the horizon that some longs took advantage of the situation to take a tax loss. My situation is that I'm break even basically and will add tomorrow to move my sp down a bit while adding potential value to my portfolio. My investment advisor is recommending against it but all he has been doing is following the NR's without digging into the real data. Again great post Rocco. Keep them coming. Regards, Foghorn
