Year End 2009

Okay, I have been out of the loop now for a couple of months. I have had to travel to places that don't have high speed internet but I have all that fixed now with my new DROID! I will pick back up my blog postings in the new year however they may not all be real time as before. I will try to post them all as close to real time as possible but if I am on the road trading from my Smart Phone then I will have to wait until that evening for posting. Anyhow, here was a trade for today:
