Then why does it continuously go back to sounding like one? (having the effect of obscuring the conversation about method...) Every so often a...
Hi Man I agree. Also there is the big problem - the 'pseudo sales pitch' is obscuring and diminishing the conversation. Natalie
I guess we must be a pretty interesting bunch of people then if they keep coming around and trying to analyse us :) Natalie
I stand corrected - there were some new 52 week highs yesterday, but certainly not hundreds. How about reversing some of this for a bear market...
