One encouraging sign on the UK wage front: the rate of annual wage increase dropped to 5% in May from 5.6% in April. It's the first drop in the rate of wage growth this year and this is the most recent data on the series. So the BoE may talk tough on the need to be vigilant against inflation but we may have actually seen a peak in wage driven inflation. We'll know in a couple of months. The increase in the rate of wage growth also slowed in the March to April period. Bleeker

R--50% return from this point is at least 75% likely, the way I figure it. 100% return by February isn't at all out of the question either. I can't even keep up with all the games this company has so Christmas revs should be good. I'm not trying to time the bottom here either--have been lucky to get this correction is how I'm looking at it. Also was lucky to sell at $15 to buy more AAPL. AAPL is giving me a lot of "currency" right now. Today I sold some and bought both THQI and EIDSY. In late Feb. one would need two shares of AAPL to buy one of THQI + EIDSY. Now it's about half that. Seems like it is time to switch ships again. Like earlier with THQI, I don't think it matters much whether one pays $11.50 or $13.50. stun, could you amplify your post a bit? I understand that the big trade is basically neutral because there's a buyer and seller, but what does it take to make someone give up the 200,000 shares at that price? Or take 200,000? If we move strongly in one direction tomorrow, is this related? I'm just not used to one block trade accounting for 95% of the day's volume. Could someone find out if it was Goldman that brokered the trade? Marc
