and all we got yesterday was a nose bleed, it will be interesting to see the figures for friday when they are released,

is there a desperate attempt to try closing the Sep 7 -
Sep 8 2.5 cents gap ?

it appears everything including the kitchen sink has been thrown at this one .

any comments anyone ?
