Well, I was hoping they would get better with time. I think one thing we tend to forget is that this company, although not new in itself, is fairly new as an independent, so mistakes such as not cutting their workforce quickly will be made.

I am not so sure they have the cash for a buyback. The ferocity of this oversupply situation has got to be suprising even to MEMC's management.

What about the possibility that Huls will make a tender offer for the shares that they don't already own?

I missed today's excitement as my 1 1/2 year old son had a double urital re-implantation.
