CONGRATULATIONS to kadee (win) & to Clark (show).

But, as always, I especially wish to thank Clark for his talented

math skills and lengthy efforts providing us very accurate market

numbers every market day. Since I've always been sort of a

"numbers guy" ….. here's a quickee: There's 8,760 hours in

each calendar year. [365 x 24]. Now multiply that number by

your age …. Oh, it's gets larger...…… LOL.

[ModE98]
