Gary, like the $80 share price, the "Big Announcement" date and "Oil to $5" date are fun to take a stab at, but in the short run, such things are total guesswork - most people think so anyway. But the market as long run weighing machine is more certain. Don't give up just before a big price rise. Nobody will ring a bell when the train is leaving the station. Yes, Walt - excellent information and it's amazing to think that the VW40 people are still using the two tone doorbell method for measuring erlangs per concatenated Reed Solomon convolutional wave function under orthogonal boundary conditions in a 200 KHz spread!!!!!!! Don't they know anything???!!! Have they not heard of Turbo and adjacent channel power rejection? It might be wise to sell the VW40 enthusiasts a licence to use Q! IP and IP [intellectual property and internet protocol] CDMA technology provided they use it only at their original 4.096MCPS chip rate and provided Europe allows any technology to compete on an equal footing with spectrum sold in open market conditions with any application allowed. So Q! could sell their lower chip rate turbo WWeb[TM] system in competition with them. Customers could choose either the Ericy 4.096 chip rate with convoluted two-tone doorbells or the ready to roll WWeb systems from Q! or licensees. Give them enough rope to hang themselves. Call their bluff. If they do make 4.096 systems work, then Q! will be able to compete like Michael Jordan would compete against Billy Bunter in basketball. Mqurice [Glad you liked the post] Incidentally, I see the Kuwaitis were also talking about $5 per barrel if OPEC can't maintain production reduction. I don't see how they can maintain production cuts while Saudi Arabia and other low cost producers are going broke. Saudi Arabia can make a lot of money by producing heaps at $5 per barrel. NZ fields would go bust quite quickly. So would North Sea, other offshore fields and a lot of onshore fields too. Caxton is going to have some cheap PSFO [power station fuel oil] to contend with soon. The ecosphere is going to get CO2 back where it belongs, in the air, where plants can breathe it instead of locked up underground as hydrocarbons.
