What's up Doc?  Why are you running RadarScreen?  I thought you had all your money (including credit cards, as I recall) tied up in GUMM...

Don't tell me you've bailed out on the itty-bitty pull-back GUMM's weathering!  After all, that trade, as I recall from your previous posts, is based on "fundamentals"!  What?  Is everyone going to stop chewing gum now?  No need for a cure for the common cold?  Does RadarScreen have a "pump-and-dump" scan built-in?
