IMCL Intraday Chart

Here's an intraday picture for posterity and future reference/analysis ...

IMCL Up Nearly 7% This Morning

Me, too, since I have some of it! That's right, Rob; your preaching IMCL has finally paid off. I hope it pays off for us all.

Hey, NBB, I'm enjoying the IMCL ride this morning!

Did you hang on?

Edit ( a few minutes later ): Naturally, as soon as I post about it, the price starts to drop. (When will I learn to quit doing that?) But it'll be okay. I can see it's already starting to pick up again. People always get jittery on the larger moves.

IMCL Setting New Multi-year Highs

IMCL just a few minutes ago established a 113-week intraday high of 44.55, and now sits just a few pennies below that point.

The next take-out target is the intraday high of 44.86 established on March 1, 2005.

"Libs" to solve the world problems.... As soon as "W" is gone.

same thing....crank. It is a big problem and one that could be stopped tomorrow, or at least when w leaves office.

Tatnic, let me guess.... You'd stop illegal "meth" production by what?.... Outlawing the use of Anhydrous Ammonia by farmers? You know it is some verrrrrry dangerous stuff.

OH! I know an even better solution.... Just have the Libs outlaw farming altogether!!!!.... I'll bet that'll be "tops" on Hillary's list just as soon as she's "in".... Sssssssss!

What drug do they make using ammonia stolen from farmers? It's been a problem in Northern Ohio.

small auto's more dangerous than handguns!

Windex.....

LOL!.... yeah, the real "hard users" call it Mr. Clean....

btw, I think that compact cars should be outlawed and everyone should be forced by law to drive SUV's.... Following are excerpts from a CNN article just out.

....During the years 2002 to 2005, there were 79 driver deaths per million registered 2001-2004 model year vehicles, according to the Institute. By contrast, during the years 1990 to 1994, there were 110 deaths per million 1989 to 1993 model year vehicles on the road then. That represents a 30 percent reduction in the overall death rate.

Most of that difference can be attributed to safer vehicle designs and to the addition of Electronic Stability Control on more vehicles, especially SUVs, according to the Institute.

Overall, midsize and large luxury cars have the lowest death rates, according to the Institute, while small 4-door cars have the highest death rates. Of the 15 vehicles with the lowest death rates, none were small cars.

Rob,
I don't care if morons like that guy kill themselves and wreck their own property. Just so they stay away from my family and property.

No problemo Rob. I do think cars and alcohol, but not the yerba, are dangerous by themselves and combined together kill thousands more than guns do in criminal or accidental situations. It's a very hard call on both guns and cars.

Ok..throw in a cell phone and you've got a potentialLY explosive situation. Imagine doing a couple of bong hits, chased by a few beers, getting into your car with your cell phone and loaded S&W on the seat next to you. The phone rings and you pick it up....BLAM!!

Seriously though, there's absolutely no comparison to the danger of autos vs. handguns statistically speaking. But in big cities I believe the number of deaths by handguns outnumbers the number of deaths by auto accidents by a fair margin.

And your point about pot is well taken. I have yet to see any studies that compared to booze, guns, prescription drugs, etc that its even remotely as dangerous in comparison. I know people that have been smoking for years, hell decades (not me), and they don't have any health problems, no bad lungs, nothing. But they're taking a chance getting caught which is not good.

Look at our crank problems in this country...crystal meth. Its very sad how its invaded the red states and ruined so many lives. Remember quaaludes from the early days? They have completely vanished from the streets because our government went after the manufacturers of the needed ingredients. The exact same thing could be done with crystal meth except that big Pharma is not allowing it to happen. A big part of their profits comes from worthless cold medication and we all know the main ingredient in meth comes from these cold medications. I think it would be a small price to pay to go with the sniffles for a few days (stay at home and drink bourbon) instead of supporting the crystal meth manufacturers.

Skiracer, my NSC post was not a response to your post in particular. In fact I hadn't even seen your post yet as I was composing it.

The NSC ban cars post was in response to anti-gun opinions in general.

... of course, deaths caused by automobile accidents are oftentimes due to sheer stupidity (not unlike accidental deaths with handguns), and when it comes to sheer stupidity in a moving vehicle, no one can top this idiot.

Is this guy the poster boy for the Darwin awards, or what?

Why don't we just outlaw dumb people. I'll be the judge!

I agree. But without autos the United States economy would implode.

In a similar vein, it's ironic that the same guy who spends $1,200 on a riding lawn mower then turns around and spends another $800 on a treadmill. Isn't it?

yes it is...maybe its a simple problem of having too much money. There's no incentive to think anymore, just pull out the plastic.
