    Talk around the camp fire is that the US economy may have bottomed out and its rebounding. I dont personally believe this as 4 days is not enough data to make a decision like that, but perhaps people are taking it as gospel and spending their money which in turn keeps people off the boards, as they are deluged with customers!!! :cheers:
    I know the government here has given everyone some money to help stimulate the economy, and we would like to help them spend it!:D
    Nice to think this may be the case..........
    It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.

    That was quite a nice compliment Dr Frank! Since it's so quiet, I think I'll turn in early!
