Mike, Do we have any benchmarks for measuring the supply? I assume we can use fund inflows for a rough benchmark (making some assumptions about institutional / individual ownership) for the demand. Any suggestions? Richard

>>>>>Right now, new securities are being created at a record rate. When suckers are biting, the scamsters issue stock.<<<<< Hi Mike, I have been wondering about this. Washington Post today had an article about hard times at Oncor, one of the multitude of biotech start-ups along Route 270 in Maryland, now trading OTC as a "penny stock," after losing money for fifteen years!!!???? It is said that Harvard got stuck with millions in worthless stock. I don't understand the concept of publicly offering stock in a company that has a promising process but is years from offering said product for sale (if ever). What gives? search.washingtonpost.com CobaltBlue
