Dr. Zaghloul - I echo the thoughts of others tonight. Great work! On a serious note, why would you not move the company to the TSE? I had dinner Saturday night with a mutual fund manager (responsible for close to $800 million in Canadian assets) he has never heard of the company and claims to avoid the ASE like the plague. One small company I'm involved with GBV has gone from $0.94 to over $1.60 since indicating it would move from the ASE to the TSE. Regards - and thank you for your continued time! Whitey,
