Doug and Dragonfly: Actually, the current Loral/China controversy has given a very misleading impression of LOR's motivation for its China involvement. If you listen to all shows on TV you get the impression that LOR was just dying to use Chinese launchers. In fact, as I see it, Bernard Schwartz was essentially giving a little bit of business to the Chinese in order to open up the Chinese market to GSTRF. Imagine 1 billion Chinese with portable phones (and later satellite data access). I bet that the Communists would have a real tough time keeping such a population in line. In fact, Bernard Scwhartz was probably one of the greatest agents of subversion against the Communist party rule in China. However, try to explain that to all the numbskulls in Congress! Best wishes, Bernard Levy

Hey, the fact is, politics will likely be a main determinant of Loral's stock price over the near term. So, whaddya think? We were up yesterday and up a tiny bit today. Im in denial of the possibility that we might be turning around-- I can see no reason why we shouldn't be drifting down. I even got in for some more and that's usually a sure sign that we're headed south. I need to hear it, Doug! Tell me its going down some more! Dragonfly
