Carol Coale of Prudential was just on cnbc with an interesting comment. She is the Natural Gas analyst with Prudential in Houston and knows ENE fairly well. She pointed out that since ENE is the largest market maker in electricity and natural gas, that if they have sustained problems and the other firms assume counterparty risk with ENE it could impact other companies. She did not spell out it out specifically, but it might reduce liquidity in those markets. If liquidity in those markets is reduced we might see problems from that. The interview was very brief, and she did not have time to elaborate on this. John
