Manfred, How could you ever take into account variance in buying power from person to person? I'm sure that some people (lurkers in particular) are only buying 100 shares. Others own 100,000+ shares. I guess I would be shocked if this board didn't have at least some influence over many millions of shares. But is it 5 , 25, or 75 million? There is also the problem of how direct is the influence? For example, I own some AMD and read the board directly. My Dad owns AMD and I tell him about what I read on the board. Does he count? Well, he has never read a single post here, but he owns a few shares as a direct influence of conversations here. I wish you the best of luck coming up with a meaningful answer. Your question is a tough problem. Mike
