I think that if this was a major deal, ICI would have said something. I think NIR is too far away from significant earnings for the share price they have. And finally, I think that because we know about the product -- there is nothing unknown or yet to be discovered -- what are investors speculating on? The old Aquasol deal? No, I think $2 is possible.

> The papers should pick up the news tomorrow Sorry, but I would disagree on this point. Experience tells me that the newspapers will only print the news that fits, not the news that's fit to print. In other words, give them a two or three paragraph message and they will have room for it. However, yesterday's release starts out: "As Chairman and CEO it is with great pleasure that I share with our staff and marketing and technical teams in announcing... " The press will not spend the time rewording this to "Napier announced today ...", as they fear that they may inadvertently change the meaning of any statements. Check out the releases from a company such as ATI Technologies (ie at ww2.newswire.ca ) and you'll see the first couple of paragraphs hold a good 'sound-bite', followed by more in-depth fodder. The press release did not contain any obvious grammatical errors, but I'm sure that DiO will give a full recap on that later ;-) . To get the press to publish, though, you have to hand feed them. I'm hoping that it actually does reach the papers, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. Just my opinion. Neil.
