Well Gary.....here are some more "facts" :)   In a seperate statement it
say's "the total combined numbers for the model for 2002 are as follows:
Total Profit 17,925, Total Signals 105. with 68 winners, Avg Winner 254.52
and Avg loser 237.85" ....I'm not going to type every figure there,lol and
Of course it carries the standard Disclaimer.....yadayo /   we're not
talking 3 months.
Anyway I just wondered if anyone had heard of it.  And to clarify, I'm NOT
trying to put down the Price Group or endorse them.
