Longtime..

I got some great executions out of Scottrade in selling my 6,000 shares, yes all at $1.97. (Even the shares I put at $1.84 limit on). Didnt do quite as well in my BOA IRA where I had 1,000 shares. (Scottrade gave way better executions).

I sold at a worse price of $1.70 on my son's college account (220 shares).

I checked again. They DID pay down their debt by about $2 Million. But that is not good enough. ROIAK and ETM made debt reductions near $15 to $20 Mil.

The leverage ratio at CMLS was 8.05 at 6/30/09 and now is 8.57.

It is going in the wrong direction.

Debt at the levels that all these company's are at is a ticking bomb. You have to get the debt down before interest rates move up.

That is what ETM and ROIAK are doing.

I did buy some ETM today at $6.57. I have more ROIAK (in dollars) than ETM.

Thanks for your thoughts.
