And there's that second little leg I was expecting. All is on schedule.

Let's see now if they can get that RTH HOD before the close, or if this is it. I think they can get it, but if not, here's the biggest danger zone.

Here's a funny little story as I wait to see if that's it for today, or if they will push it to the RTH HOD (and hopefully a few ticks over). I still think they can do it.
Imagine a SPAMer buys a list of ten million e-mail addresses, something that is readily available. You know when you get a SPAM and it has an unsubscribe link at the bottom? That doesn't really unsubscribe you, it moves your address to a 'confirmed' list that sells for more. Anyway, say that 99% of the list is 'good' addresses. That's a pretty high, perhaps unrealistic ratio. Then in that list 100,000 are going to bounce back. Well, SPAMers use other people's return addresses when they send them out. They get them from websites, for example. I know, because mine has been stolen and used for years, and there is nothing I can do about it. But when a massive SPAM goes out then perhaps 100,000 will bounce back. Bounce back to me. Imagine what that does to my inbox and to my finding my own mail, and how my ISP feels about all this. And my hosting company, where it then gets forwarded to for my KT mailboxes. I say this now because I woke up to this today. All I'll say is this world gets more and more F'ed up every day I live. It's just getting ridiculous.

Honestly, it was the most obvious thing I've seen on a chart in my entire career. Not more obvious, but equal to the most obvious I've ever seen.
