> [@FastDan1](#): > > AAPL or MSFT I am sad to admit it, but it took me a full 24 hour day to ‘get’ this. Literally had to sit back more inches from the screen and take in the whole big picture before the “aha!” moment. [guess it was an _insider_ tip] 😏 😏 . Pre brain-injury it would have been instantaneous and I could have thought of similarly clever, wry clues. Now you all know why I read/lurk and don’t push myself off the precipice by trying to write them. I do very much enjoy all of yours though. Looking forward to the annual convention when we can all get together and bend elbows and each other’s ears… ---
