    Hey Mike,

    When you get a chacne can you take a look at NTBK and tell me what you think. Looks like a short to me but also looks like somneone’s doing something ahead of some news today anyway.

    Thanks.

    The GRU growth is tricky. They never said what the number is. From 10 clicks to 100 clicks is 1000%. I think GRU should only be a penny stock as it used to be.

    A very good trader told me when looking for stocks to trade look at the 10 MA crossing the 20MA and the A/C in the IDB should be A or B. You might like to back test that concept.
