Thanks! So far, so good. But it's only been a little over six months. I'm curious to see how it does the rest of the year. I imagine we'll see a fair-sized pull-back before then. It will be interesting to see if it catches it, if it happens.

This is the first time that all three models have been fully positioned on the same side. Not sure if that's good or bad. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
