To All Reasonable and Prudent People Out There Monday was crazy, wasn't it? Lots of things were said, emotions were high for a good reason too. It's not necessarily just money for money's sake, but we have to work damned hard to earn it. The 15 min time limit to change a post is great for most circumstances but sometimes we wish we had been given an hour. Monday was one of those days. Give it up - take a deep breath and ignore the posters that agitate you and bring something positive to the thread, please. c PS: this of course is not directed at you Sergio.. Your name was just handy to respond to, Dear sweet reasonable and prudent person that you are :)

You know...this has been a very educational experience (and don't anyone take this the wrong way...because I think it's all been a good thing) in both the mechanical and logistical machinations around a merger such as this and the effects all that has on the individual investor when things don't just turn out as expected. The first day was at first a breath catcher and, I think, it was OK (sort of) that some folks vented and voiced their concerns in their own way. There was this contest and everyone expected to see a higher price and, magically, that all the brokerage services would convert all their shares immediately and correctly...and, of course, we'ld all be rich. I expect sometime in the future we will point to this stock event as an example of what to expect on another one...at that time there will pro- bably be a few chuckles about what went on. The problem with e-mail is that there is no tonal inflection or body language (grins, smirks, eye rolls, etc) to go with it so what you read is what you get and that seems to often result in flames. The bottom line is that if you believe in what you believed in last week then today is OK..if not then you should sell and get out - it's that simple (for me - beeg grin) The thread will get back to where it's supposed to be (I hope - I've gotten a lot out of it)... keep the faith... jf...

Sergio, I also called the co. today, spoke with CFO's assistant.(Lisa) CFO was out at the time. First off Lisa said that the company officers felt bad about the way the conversion took place. " Very poor, for which they are concerned". Lisa did not "think" that a PR firm had been hired yet, but knew that plans were in the works. She took my other questions, regarding earnings and SSSS, stated that she would find out for me and call back tomorrow. Sorry I could not get more, but I would rather speak to the "horse" than the rider. I do plan on speaking with Mr. D. tomorrow as I will be home all day. regards Ken W
