Hogg, I agree with part of what you say.  Financials will be the thing that gets the snowball rolling down the hill, although I think that a good 3rd quarter 10Q followed by a good 10K will catapult us to the .25 area.  As far as the middle east goes, its been a time bomb for as long as I've been alive, and I'm 59.  My guess is that it will continue to be a time bomb, there have been wars and mini-wars going on there for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
