Probably 95% of participants are Elite only anyway, so just create a new thread in Elite area if it makes you more comfortable keeping general public away.

Runaway bull market, I'm just on the right side and hanging on (or have been). I am looking to get off the bull pretty soon though, at least catch my breath and see what's next.
