clark- i am really busy this weekend, but if i don't get back to you i will take Sol Strategies. it trades in the US as CYFRF on the pink sheets.  i would rather get it on the Canadian market, as it is more liquid, there, but that market is closed Monday.

clark- thanks for checking the opening value.
i am showing $0.265 on my end (Schwab).
i am not actually going to complain, as long as it
holds above 40 cents by the end of the week, though.

[djAdvocate]

congrats to KD and clark.
finally passed VB on the alltime list.
that was my goal for the year.
i worked hard at it.
got lucky this week.

@clark- i will take the same pick next week unless i find something i like better. i think it still has a lot of oomph. their largest sharholder bought 17M shares in September.
