clarkrl2:

i will take ICAGY LONG for right now.
i am also thinking of taking a fourth bite from
CYFRF, but i would have to review this very late
tonight, and i have not been up very late for the
last few nights, due to chronic sleep deprival the
previous few nights.

ICAGY is finally showing signs of life after having
gotten crushed during COVID. it is flirting with a post COVID high. and it should be. it has made a wonderful comeback. it should probably be selling for $10.

I forgot again...darn!
I'll try to do better next week.  I'll write myself a note & put it on my phone too!

[djAdvocate]

CYFRF was down 20% this morning.
