Oliver, I agree, this kind of volatility happens a lot with companies similar to USWB. You can't taste, touch or feel their products. It's a knowledge industry. How many investors can really determine what's going on? Trading, I don't know much about. But macroeconomically if they can execute their business plan they are in the right place at the right time. Web database development is still in it's infancy. The sites are getting larger and and more complex all the time. Hiring and keeping the talent to build sites is going to be USWB's biggest obstacle to growth going forward. I can see a time in the not too distant future where this sector merges with a consulting group and using "talent of scale" becomes a huge force in the internet. Back-office, Front-office, internet, intranet, JIT, quality metrics and even the cash register are going to merge in a seamless way toward the net. There will be big money for the company which puts all the pieces of the puzzle together, in a customer focused way. That along with the encouragement to be the next Amazon will provide USWB with revenue's for years. It's going to be a very interesting 3-5 years for USWB. Michael
