Sure does look like it wants to go higher.It'll probably bounce around for a while before finding a level,then i expect the base will build and momentum should shift to the upside.

Wouldn't any revenues, profits, etc, prior to Octpber 4th, belong to the former owner, the Lyles? **************** Manchester also disclosed that it opened a lot in Marrietta, Georgia on August 26 that brings the total lots to 6 and has sold 190 cars through September and 200 cars to date in October. ----------------------------- 200 cars already? Sounds grandiose, but it isn't. It computes to just over 2 cars per day per lot for 16 days. The 190 cars in September may be Manchester's; most dealerships close the books on the 10th or so for the previous month to clear up financing, back outs, pay comissions, etc.
