Blankmind, Thanks for your thoughtful remarks. There are some things that may be missing. One is the incompetence of the management to have borrowed from Peter to pay Paul. We don't know why they didn't get new equipment for the new plant rather than take equipment from the original plant. We also don't know why this was kept from us, since they knew they were doing it and that the consequences would be so expensive. So if they are unreliable, what else might they be hiding. The other is the Arsenio accusations. I think the claim that MUSE doesn't work must be untrue, but given all his accusations, that will cause loss of confidence in the stock. Both these issues create a lack of confidence that could effect the stock price for a longer time than one month, don't you think? How long does it take for confidence to be renewed when the management disappoints in such a way? Linda
