I just love that venting, LOL

You can't manipulate a stock unless there are buyers for it.  It' would be pointless to manipulate a stock where you had nothing to short.  Saying that, I don't believe they're shorting much, but they are manipulating the stock.

The market comparisons are a better indication of how we are fairing out.  What really has surprised me is the how capital intensive this business is, even for the simple work that we are doing. I 'm quite sure it may have been much easier when the rules and regulations weren't so stringent and expensive.

We do have a new point man working Wooldridge and it looks like Reid has enough confidence in him to make that forecast. But I fully understand your concerns. Lets see how it turns out.
