Howard, you sound like your in a 'mood'. Don't know about Franklin's demise as you say, but they are overpriced. If you bought a short time ago like Andy & Cane, you more than doubled your money, and that's what it's all about. As for your opinion on women, your posts speak for themselves, but maybe that's just a 'guy' thing on the boards. What's your position today on SWIR, you forgot to mention :)
