thanks for the info on shares owned as you say mz it would be interesting to find out just how many have been sold since the fund was closed, anon has been selling fairly steadly, but i think that there is still a fair number still to be sold so i find myself believing that the selling pressure from them to be around for a while yet. hopefully i am thinking that CC and co. are able to buy these up and take them out of circulation. this brings up another question,?? the money allotted to buy back shares is going to be able to buy back more at these lower prices so is the co. allowed or are they stuck to the number that was posted.. so i guess my question is which has precident, the cash or the shares??
