LYNNE, it's great to hear from you again. Your insight has always been enlightening. (Say hi to Robert). Perhaps when we are on more solid footing e.g. We finally hire a Financial Adviser that....produces a signed Financial Agreement and we have a signed Construction Contract (I shall assume with CCC-Oman) then perhaps the "shorts" will have much less success in "spooking" those investors that are marginally connected to this project, or those that Neckster refers to as "flippers", will have a more difficult time in "influencing" the market as they can now. The closer we get to the NASDAQ, I believe this thinly traded--and therefore,easily manipulated stock, will act like a true investment and less like a casino gamble, Billy Boy. P.S. Let us also remember that Price Waterhouse should be passing judgement-----very soon---as to how our $718,000,000 beach appears on our books.
