OK, Albert, since you are such an excellent student of the stock market: What would consider the effect of this announcement to be on the stock on Tuesday, and at what point will you sell all the shares you picked up $1.25 over the summer....oh, that's right....you changed your mind and decided HTSF was only worth $1 shares. OK, well, if you got your shares for $1 a piece, then you must be very, very happy right now.
Have a LOVELY weekend, Albert!
