I think Sophie is being very careful to not feed any wild speculation, she was a lot more upbeat and reassuring when the stock was drifting down in April and May. Now that we're getting some attention in the market, people are leaning on her to confirm their most optimistic theories and she's quite aware that an excess of boosterism will harm the company's credibility in the long run. What there is is what there is - she's more of a 'Just The Facts' Ma'am now. I also think she knows a little more of company business than the average IRperson, and that's ok because she's smart enough to speak with discretion. The 500kg sample is just a technical effort, won't move the market ... cheers .... macros

Heh Steelguy, Bang on!! Certainly there will be exceptions regarding IR personnel but on the whole I would not trust them as far as I could drop kick them. I have just about heard it all from these people. Boy if I could get my hands on the necks of some of them, booooyy oh boy would I be happy. Every once and awhile you will be blessed with someone that is exactly what there are meant to be. The unfortunately reality is that you only get them that way when the company actually has something of substance to 'relate'. Regards
