Thereby 'weakening' their group numbers...

So the more bullish members are enjoying a period of ascendency, that they haven't had for 6-12 months.

Don't forget that 'the bulls' as a group are in actual fact comprised of just a couple of saddos with multiple log in names. e.g. chucky = Dan and a few nom-de-plumes too. You can tell chucky easily by his appalling lack of grammar and his basic spelling mistakes. And the constant editing of his postings too. :rotfl:

What happened? I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that you had invented the most obvious Thanking Buddy in history.
