Norm,
I do appreciate the fact that you are trying to provide a solution. My opinion is that there is no real solution to this situation as long as the number of $200 strikes issued is limited to 100. There are a number of compulsive collectors that must have multiples of these strikes, and they have no limits. If the number of strikes issued were more than 100, the hysteria/compulsion would be more contained. I do think that slot management at the qqqq does not understand basic economic principles relating to demand/supply and is actually foregoing profit. For example there are now 583 active members in the Silver Strikers Club and this does not include Realcoolhand and others. Maybe the slot management of the qqqq really gets off having a 2 a.m. line and doesn't care about lost profits. Hell, I don't know, I live in Texas. Have a great day y'all, George L.
