Hello lowbass,
It's nice to know that you are continuing to post the picks for those that need them. It seems to be a pretty lonely place here now. I haven't been in the chat for a long time and now I'm not sure I could even get in if I tried. That's assuming it is still going.

I just want to say thanks for picking up the posts when I left. I know it can be a chore that offers little reward.

Good Trading all.

Hi Traderrick.   It's good to hear from you.  We're still trading each morning on the chat room.  Just fewer of us and with a whole lot more caution.  Some players have gone to pursue real jobs.  I'm retired and enjoy the camaraderie in the room.  I trade cautiously and try to supplement my retirement with it.  It's been rough.  If ever you need the Ventrilo info to reenter the chat you can write to me here or at [e-mail].  Have a great day.
