I understand.

You have made it clear that you will continue to see a dark cloud behind every silver lining, until you have no choice but to see things otherwise. Nobody could have possibly missed that.

However, the facts are, as stated, 2M shares traded in Frankfurt and a 60% rise in the share price yesterday. If you want to believe some insiders were playing games in Germany today, that`s cool with me.

I prefer to believe that some investors decided that the .05 shareprice was just too irresistable, and it was time to get in. Ifthere was a short position, it could have been a good time to cover. (Have you noticed the significant increase in serious bashers and snakes?) When the rally started, others may have decided to get in. That`s how a rally works.

I, frankly, don`t care if Herb Neuhaus sent his sister (if he even has a sister)to buy a few thousand shares in Frankfurt, and the share price took off from there. I only care that some people were obviously buying, and others were selling, there was a lot of volume and the share price went up. That`s the name of the game. It`s all about share price. (We are in this for the money, aren`t we?)

So, Jeff, if you want to believe there was some sinister inside manipulation going on that caused a sudden flurry of activity, and that it is all smoke and mirrors, I have no beef with that. Do what ya gotta do. In the meantime, I am enjoying the big increase in the value of my portfolio, and may even add a few more shares on Monday.

Have a great weekend.
