AV--I need to remain optismistic concerning this. It is easy to say this is a good move since BOYD is a great marketeer and designer of his own custom products. This does not necessarily mean he could be as good a CEO as he is a technical type of guy. Maybe he realized he could not run the business as well as others. This is an admirable realization if he came to this decision himself. He is still a large stockholder and has a great deal to gain or lose on this announcement. Therefore the decision did not come lightly. What really matters is market reaction. If we see a decent pop in price as a result of this, then it is a good thing. If nothing or a retracement occurs, then the dog is starting to smell and may need a real bath. Whoops, now that I think about it, managment at BYDS has taken a bath(blood) recently. I hope all this is for the greater good. Again, I am being optimistic. Let's see how it opens tomorrow. What a trip if it opens high since it is on the new list. I hope I do not have to change my pen name to "Brian Bids" over this. BTW-Kevin-it looks like the 5 ASYT contracts went out at 6 3/8 after all. I got a message on the machine stating the sale was at 6 3/8 and not 6 3/4. Funny thing is that the bid is 6 3/4. Methinks the local hombre robbed me for 3/8 on the deal. Andrew
