Although happy about the regional bottlers, I admit I hadn't thought about the implications from a "maybe I'll invest" point of view of those not invested yet. I have to assume that this would tend to be a signal to many more that it's time to jump on... Obviously there are some jumping on each day, right now. This is an established company, and it's a little amazing that more people haven't jumped on, into big positions. But its not the first time a stock I (or you) owned which was strong under a dollar, stayed there for awhile, then shot up quickly (ie, in a day or a month). I recall reading that the longer a stock stays at the same level, the faster it shoots upward when it does move. I don't have proof of this myself. I wonder if that's anecdotal (sp?) information, or based on chart studies? About the taste: There was no medicinie taste in any of the drinks. Not a bit. Yet I did feel a good boost with each drink, much better than coffee. And much more healthy, too, given my reading on the subject. Although, I suspect coffee's "downside" is highly overrated, and in fact recently heard on the news that scientists are reevaluating it. On the other hand, I have aged (looks-wise) a bit since I started drinking coffee. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just have to pay the cash for a case of AQUA 1 pharmaceuticals, and give away my caffeined coffee blends. You know, I really can't express my appreciation of the President and the others at AQUA 1, Steward CFO and Nicki IR, and others I've not spoken with but heard about (sales, for instance). They are go-getters, yet they are taking one calculated step at a time, not overextending but prepared or preparing for the next move. It's really a joy to watch, like a finely tuned car, an exquisite painting, or reading a book so well-crafted you think writing it must have been easy. Good people to be associated with. Well, IMHO.
