Payne, first off thanks for the update.

Regarding the following question and answer..

Question..The selling pressure is relentless is there a large institution bailing out, has the institution % of holding's changed over the last year...any explantion !!

Answer.. Not to his knowledge has a large shareholder been bailing out, but it is possible.He does not believe the % of institution holding's have changed over the last year.

I believe it has changed, to what extent however remains a question?

Here is the change in fund ownership since May.

Funds ownership in May =12,268,667

Fund ownership in Jan = 6,258,100

a decrease of 6 million shares.

How many others have sold??????
