So ein SCHWACHSINN - die Kursrakete (fuer Ameritrade) ist doch schon laengst abgeflogen - da gibts hier ganz andere Werte, die interessanter sind! Aber es ist immer gut, wenn sich noch einige auf den bereits abgefahrenen Zug schwingen, dann sind die letzten wenigstens nicht die letzten!

[Mind Move]

Ja....da muß ich mal leicht grinsen...aber ich würde mich auch mal über ein leichten Anstieg von Amtd freuen....
aber momentan ist dem wohl nicht so...
...warum?....daß weiß wieder keiner?
