Before your post I knew there were differences but hadn't had time to figure it all out. Keep up the great work of helping us new investors out! PS, the font size is much better now, and I really prefer the tans over the previous light green theme. When you post a comment though the green background is a bit dark. Also it might just be my laptop, but I can't submit comments from Firefox 2.0.0.1. I'll test this out on another computer of mine, but I've been having to use IE to comment. I get the error message "Error: This file cannot be used on its own." if that helps. Thanks! Hey Trent,
