Junior, I've not written you before and I haven't provided many details about my background because of failing memory. Permit me to say, simply, that I am a Professor of Alchemy, emeritus. I was constrained to retire because my colleagues said I no longer could do arithmetic, which as you know, is a necessity in my highly specialized field. All those complicated formulas, etc., you know.

I truly regret that you have no money. Money seems to be so essential in this day and age. Without it, one is poor.

My inability to solve arithmetical problems is why I am posting this message. I vaguely seem to recall rampaging up saying that he had purchased 5000 shares of GNET in the low $80s today. Let us say he meant $82. Someone else said he/she once bought GNET shares at an average of $8. In turn, rampaging up retorted that his average price for all his GNET shares was less than that other person's average price. Here I become confused. Can you help me with the arithmetic?

If rampaging up averaged $3 per share for the oodles of shares he marshaled prior to today, how many oodles does he hold? Of course, if he averaged only $1 per share he might own less oodles, I believe, but I am so unsure of my arithmetic. But, what if he averaged $5, how many oodles are in his possession? Oh, my poor befuddled mind, I am unable to solve these problems. Arithmetic used to be so easy.

Whatever the numbers, I must conclude that rampaging up must be very rich and powerful. Be careful not to upset or antagonize him.

Thank you for bearing with me through my mental miasma. I hope you are able to rise from your poverty.

Charitably yours,

Sy
