RVXOT - I agree.  Having more money is always better than having less and definitely puts them in a stronger position overall.  No question.  To be honest, I'm not sure I would want another run up in the SP prior to topline because they just might do the same thing they did back in May.  More turmoil and probably along the lines you describe.  I think everybody is looking forward to September, and for some old timers like yourself it probably can't come soon enough.
