Bob, I will be tied up in meetings gain today, but I did leave an open order at $5. We are in the throes of startup of the new plant. Also in the midst of debate as to staying private or doing an IPO in the 50 to $100 million range. Looks like we are leaning toward IPO, planning to start construction on 5 new plants over the next two years now that the pilot plant is proving successful. Unfortunately this is taking much time away from my stock trading! An IPO is a lot of work, might be easier just to buy all the FSTW shares. (Just joking)
