All I can say is thank goodness it was their money and we're still ahead on
the trade. I hate those wild rides up or down, of course I'm happier if I'm
on the right side of the move. The start-up is looking for more space and
they're talking about way up in the Valley. If I have to make that commute,
it'll kill me. I'll try to convince them to keep some space in Century
City.

Guy,
I took another hit today. If this keeps up I'll be stopped out, but
can't complain with the good run I've had lately. Let me know when you get
the real buy signal <G>.
