<Peter is a really interesting guy. Now 46 years old, he has boyish good looks, is very fit, is soft spoken, but has always had a rebellious streak. If his prep school coach told him to practice foul shots, Peter would work on three pointers. Told by authority "it's either my way or the highway," Peter instinctively heads for the highway. After majoring in economics and option theory, he joined Morgan Stanley's equity derivatives group in 1980 and did a lot of everything. In the summer of 1987 using a series of quantitative models he developed, he became convinced that dynamic disequilibrium was imminent. He persuaded the firm and certain accounts to buy deep out-of-the-money S&P 500 puts, which he demonstrated were very underpriced, and in addition bought a load for himself. Then came the Crash! With a nest egg, Peter began to think the high stress and travel Morgan Stanley required were not his thing, when he had a wife and three young children. A skier, climber, and biker, he moved his family to Sun Valley, Idaho, and began to search for an asset class to immerse himself in. Immerse is the operative word. Peter's style has always been to focus intensely on one thing, study it, build models on it, and develop an analytical edge. He came up with gold because it was complex, misunderstood, under-researched, and susceptible to his option-pricing theories. In 1990 he founded Sun Valley Gold.> If this guy likes CKG even through an acquisition it may speak volumes.

No surprise here, a natural extension of the merger. Good news perhaps but unlikely to be a driver on the stock. More particularly, a reason why it will be difficult to accumulate CKG when it is ready to roll. Cheers, Ogi
