To : Robert T. Quasius From : Will Gamble Many thanks for your note - This is big news - sme of CQB's "wheels" may buy big-time now. I have considered CQB as investment grade security for years. BTW - The FIRST security that I ever bought was was it's predecesor - UNITED FRUIT CO. Headquarted in Boston Many of the old time filthy rich Bostonians considered UF to be a safer investment than the bonds of the Federal Government of the United States of America. In circa 1959 when Sr. Fidel Castro & Co. marched into Havana and nationalized all of Uncle Sam's holdings on the beautiful island - Cuba shares of United Fruit got CLOBBERED. Probably many of the old Bostonians reverted to gov't bonds, and still hold them. Thanks again!! Will Gamble
