Walter,

Watch the CTA bashing..."I are one".  As far as "size" and moving or
influencing the markets:  I just a lonely voice in the woods in Idaho and my
ability to even convince my clients what to do is, at times, questionable.
I'm just hoping that it rains all weekend in Nebraska, Iowa & Illinois.  As
far as size?  How big can a few specs and couple of "dirt farmers" get?
We're small potatoes (not Simplot).  How low can we go before we hit major
paper??????  I don't quite understand the question.  I do put the Wall
Street Journal at the bottom of the bird cage.

Take care,

Steve Karnish
