I'm just getting started, learning as much as I can so I will definitely look into that strategy, also thank you for reaching out as well as supporting my brothers and sisters in arms.

@Zachary Taylor with the way you handled your question and the way you thanked those who took the time to comment for your benefit I have no doubt you will be welcomed with open arms by the bp community.
