Aug .13 2012

Not only we got decent start to the week, we also got a Catch of the Day-worthy trade - rarity during these low volume August days. Short into bounce with volume drying up.

[12:35] {Threei}  he is Ayn Rand fan
[12:36] {Threei}  For years, his newly minted running mate has championed Rand... Rand celebrated greed and selfishness, rejected Judeo-Christian morality, and set forth an alien vision of a nearly government-free America that would be ruled by its industrialists and bankers -- an untaxed super-rich elite.
[12:37] {dino} cool
[12:37] {ese} where do I sign up?
[12:38] {ese} hmmmmmmm wait a minute........thats what you told me before I signed up for reality trader
