Master RSI,

Thanks for your reply re MMS. I guessed at similar but without the chart know-how it was only a guess. hope to see some profit taking leading to a cheaper buy-in SP.
Do you have time to impart your knowledge on a BB page? or a list of good books/courses etc. Charts aren't always the answer as some stocks fluctuate too wildly but often they can prove very useful, something Cynic taught me(thanks Cynic)

regards
Alex
