I sure hope that's all true and correct and indicative of the value we're hoping will show up under MLRE.

I'm the big sucker here. I bought in at the peak; probably one of three people to get this thing for over $26 the other day.

Some of what I'm reading is unsettling, but my bull nature is still with me. Rob White is no pump-and-dump artist. Those $2.50 shares were 250% bigger than the IPO, and owner-locked for 12 months; how should they know it'd go 10x from there in a week? The way this thing is being hyped and financed is a little fishy, but so is Fugu.

I'm in this until we see where the Internet craze goes next week, at least. If we're lucky, those xmas sales numbers will hold up, and multiply everyone else's expectations, and I'll make a few magic beans on this old heifer yet.

Hi Keiko,
" We have several joint ventures and acquisition candidates that are in various stages of negotiations."

They have some currency now to do these deals. Each will come with a package of goodwill, strategic location and a panel of experts. I think it would be hard to value an action house correctly because of the later element. I stopped "doing" Skinners in Boston when they replaced "The Rug Lady" with "A Beautiful Blonde" who could and did talk without ever unclenching her teeth.

Happy New Year
John
