Vinh, Things have been a little rough to say the least of late. I wonder where the bottom is going to be? I'm looking at estimates of $16 as book value. Still, there are a lot of companies in this group trading under book. Is it possible we could see ESI go under $16?

There's an annual meeting coming up. If you attend and get a feeling of the mood, I'd love a report.

I've noticed the usual premium of ESIO options seems to be down. You can buy Sept 20's for 5/16ths. That seems like an interesting bet. Any renewed interest in the stock will cause a rapid rise as we saw the other day. Unfortunately, I think most of the shareholders are holding on and the price is just moving on day trades and the whim of market makers. If the MM's want to get the prices back up, it will rise fast.

I did buy some March 20 calls. They were trading at 2 1/2. I thought it was a good deal. I was up 35% the next day, but didn't take the profit. Now, the price is back. :(

Regards,

Mark
