Mr. Scott, Thank you for responding to my message. You touch precisely upon the point that I was trying to get Mark Reier to clarify. What, if any, influence does Mr. Teo have? His name has been dropped repeatedly on this thread and I am still trying to comprehend his significance. I don't like to be given half a story and then told that I can't be given any more. If somebody has anything to say about "the likes of Teo" then please inform me. I have followed the links and searched the net but no clear picture has come of it. Therefore, I will ask you the same questions. What exactly can this guy do with the amount that he holds? How do institutions behave in these situations? I ask this as a novice to Wall Street. Clearly they own a lot of stock but do the managers usually push for change or express their opinion by selling? Again, I'm just trying to gauge how relevant the Teo-factor really is. So far - it isn't. If this is what other people have already gathered then I apologize for taking so long in getting it. If anybody thinks otherwise then please just plainly state your reasons why I should be so impressed by Mr. Teo owning the same stock that I do. I don't mean to be sharp but I feel more comfortable with a discussion based on products and markets and balance sheets (oh my!). Good investing, John
