      Lets hear some stories. What got you into C&R?

      To Buy or Not To Buy …?

      I'm still holding....but then I made a big primer purchase right before everything blew up in Mar 2020....if I was down to under 1K I would probably be singing a different tune and would buy, but only in small amounts.

      ESS Closing To The Public?

      Also......in some of the reporting or comments I think there was talk about continuing to somehow leave it open to the public....but IMHO I think that's either just pandering or wishfull thinking.
