Kenneth -

The bear market that LOU DOBBS said we were in this evening on Money Line. Yes Lou himself with statistics on how many stocks have fallen over 30%!!!!

Now for WCII

approx 37m shares outstanding.

Short interest in April was approx. 7.4m shares.
Short interest in July was approx. 10.1m shares - amounting to approx. 27% of the total shares ooutstanding. That was in July and heaven knows what we've got outstanding now.

Now I think WCII is great and a home run over the two years but over this week I've been examining how I have approached the market and it has been with naivety. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the company but in a bear market the value of the shares is independent of the company's performance. Doing well and coming out with good earnings and growth means something in a bull market but not today.

Yes I'm trying to convince myself to do the unthinkable in the morning and I'm going to try very hard and bail and I still love this company.

Regards,

L
