I've been wondering that. On the faith of a premise that stop hunts are in fact predatory, what if when I look at a chart, I try to find where all the stops WOULD be like you said? Before the whole...

Thank you so much, at first glance I can already tell it's going to clear a lot of things up for me. As a follow up, as the day continued, the 17 got smaller and smaller and then it sold off. I'm...
