Well color me embarrassed with a slight edge of laziness......
I was extremely busy all weekend, and Monday  morning right before the exchange opened I saw RT was up in pre-market.
Had zero time to research why it was up. so I just went with it.
Now I know why.......
Being bought out at that price.......

Congrats to Clark & VB.  My horse tripped several days ago & must have finished either limping or on his knees!


Sorry I'm so late, been busy doing fall clean up & pruning in the flower beds....LOTS more to do.  Also getting the veggie beds either prepped for winter or getting them ready for my fall crops...cabbage next week & then onion in late Nov. or early Dec.
