Hi XXXXXX,

Here's a response from Rick in a correspondence I had with him on this question.

"Ken, that is correct, I had not been advised of any "blackout windows" and have no visisbility into the matters you outlined. Truthfully, I made the purchase to "put my money where my mouth is". Now that I am aware of this, I am not permitted to purchase any more until after the release in April. "

Regards,
Ken AuYeung, Hawk Associates Inc.

How is it that Rick Goerner can buy shares of patriot? Is he not consider an insider, which he is not allowed to purchase share until and after the next quarter report is out?
 
Thank you for your prompt response.
