Here is a tip, check out Bter.com - that is where the next growth is going to be, the Chinese market, and they not only support LTC, but FTC, FRC and PPC - the world keeps moving!
Bter is just a crypto to crypto exchange aren't they? as far as i understand there is no way to get pocket cash in or out... you have to use another exchange to do that part, i may be wrong but that is what i have noticed
as for LTC on gox I think it will be a very good and a very bad thing... when it hits gox the price will go up a bunch ($5-$6/ltc) but as soon as it does the LTC market will crash as since they announced it every LTC miner has been holding there stock.... there is going to be such a MASSIVE DUMP it will make the $259BTC crash look like Peanuts... I predict 3 months for it to recover back to $4 after the crash, but then we will see the the price climb. the thing is we will never see the 1/4btc price until both have reached the end of there new coin creation
