I like the news, and I always feel very positive when I hear Peter Jackson speak. I believe he's doing a good job, and the eventual outcome will be positive, but the shadow of convertible shares now hang over this company and it may well be dead money for some time until it's cleared up. I think it would have been good for Peter to have also discussed the impact of the financing in this last interview, and whether it offered the negative impact which we have discussed. I sold half my shares for a big loss. I probably should have sold them all. At least, the loss will be valuable in tax avoidance. I believe I'll probably have the choice of buying them back in 30 days for equal or better. Either way, I don't think the story will really be developed before then. Today's announcement sounded like a good one. So many good stories developing. One day, you'll see this stock much higher. If you did buy shares and then come back 2 years later to see what happened, I think you would be pleasantly surprised. Regards, Mark
