@EMinvrstor: Whether Leverenz's skill with ODMAX can rub-off on EMIYX remains to be seen. EMIYX is less than six months old, and only time will tell, but now might be an attractive entry point.

@Catch22: Keep this good work up, and there's a chance you might be returned to your previous position as MFO official greeter. Article should be moved to Fund Discussion
