Hi Archie; The chicken vs. egg question is less enigmatic from the egg's point of view; that is to say that the chicken is merely the method by which the egg chooses to reproduce itself. Touching briefly upon the universe and time, my personal view is that they exist as one; ergo, there is/was no "point in time" from which an observer could/would experience a beginning nor an end to either nor both. No -is/was/will be- framework exists exept the one imposed on us by our perception that, because everything in our experience has a "beginning" and an "end", so too must time and the universe. This becomes virtually imponderable when considerations of religion and other supernatural forces are injected into an otherwise ponderable riddle. I wouldn't mention it except that you asked. In consideration of your love of "thoughts of greatness", I recommend this quote from S. Weingerg's work The First Three Minutes "The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that raises humanity above the level of farce and lends to it some of the grace of tragedy." If that is not deep enough, consider this: "Gravity is a warp in time due to the presence of an object". More to the interest of the thread is the question of what will be the effect of gravity upon the share price of ABTX. Currently the price is being maintained at unsustainable levels in violation of the "laws of gravity" by the ebullience of posts such as yours. Please don't misunderstand me; it is o.k.---quite all right. But while gravity is directly cumulative by mass and decreases by the square of the distance, the shares of ABTX are propagating exponentially and the potential acquirees are decreasing by the inverse cube---also the money. So I am tending toward the notion that gravity and other natural forces will win out in the intermediate term although, in the interest of truth I have to admit that my money bet is that the price will pop up in the near-term----options, if you haven't guessed. To others who tarry here often I express my deepest wish not to offend with these convolutions and occasional critiques. They are playing only to my own vanity but I would be saddened if anyone were to use them as justification for self-banishment or a breath-holding tantrum. Good luck to you all in your investment decisions. BTW Archie, what IS the difference between a duck? Frank
