Bob,

Thanks for the information.  I did not know that about
APPX.  Guess I did not do enough research.  I am not
sure the lack of knowledge is a good or bad thing.  I
am thinking all these news is built into the
price/volume action already.

What is "DD"?  I got in at $26.86.  With the current
market, I am carefully watching this stock.  My finger
is on the sell tigger.
