the other trend that i comforting is the share price. Look at the one year trend, and watch from the bottom several months ago - for the first time in my 7 years, it's a steady, gradual climb.

In my view, it mirrors our new leader - steady, meticulous, quiet (unless there is something real to communicate) and moving the ball forward. the exact opposite of the violent peak and trough stomach churning moves the SP made under Nader. It's the story of the tortoise and the hare. But really, it reflects a leader that knows what he's doing. I truly believe Nader was just in over his head - which lead to many of his problems.

That said, i think the steady trend gets broken positively when the hold is lifted. We are close - i'm ready for that double scotch on the back porch as soon as that PR hits.....
