OT-

OK, that is fair enough. Now allow me to complicate the matter a bit. My original position in AXC was 8000 shares, and I sold 7000 of them, but I still have 1000 of the original shares, plus I have purchased the others back at about the price I sold them for. Thus you could argue that I never completely closed my position, and thus was not really entitled to the golden hook at all. How does that change things? Do I lose my initial hook altogether and start over? That 1000 shares is now up over 3x, so do I get the golden hook, plus a separate hook (if I sell) for the shares I held? Or am I still working on the original hook since I have never been completely out?

Check out Carl's AXC. What comes after a golden hook?

They cookrd the books backwards so to speak so profits are HIGHER then stated.....if this is a pattern stock should go up!!! What am i missing...they were saving earnings for a future time...probably positioning themselves for a pop later in the year after accumulation at 9 or less...if this was a policy they may have done it more then the one time...means co. better then shown and they prefer to underestimate..Tell me i havn't had my coffee yet and all thi s hurts the co....Larry
