I've asked Palm twice on two different occasions to do so, as well as PM'd him asking him on two different occasions. He's replied to posts after mine both times (so it's not as if he never read my posts) and skipped replying to mine - but has been quick to respond to others (both before and after my posts). I don't think he plans on giving any numbers. I think it's suspicious, but at the same time - when someone who may be labeled a "basher" by others, is saying that we have a double as the worst case scenario - then you know we have something of quality as they're unable to comeup with anything worse. People will lend the US goverment with assured loss of capital (negative returns) and the worst criticsm that we recieve is that we'll "only double our money from here". I think we're in good shape.
