retrorolladerbyqueen: hasn't noticed ; that europe is mellowing, canadian employment is up, u.s.house prices are up. the markets look good. my portfolio is fine thanks and so is my INT sp average, total position and longterm outlook. I can be patient. you, on the other hand are a basher with no position, no portfolio and no prospects... so you have to be patient.. free time is all you have.. other than your aliases.. must be nice to be you. have a great weekend . I will.
