RE:SimpleJohn...SP headed towards my target, $8.70...Since I offered them to you at $30 to $50 I can see you clearly meant to offer me $8.70 for every quarter share! It's an unusual way to make an offer but I will accept your offer of what I understand to be $34.80 per share. Excellent! ( Although a little hard to understand since you could pick tmem up in th eopen market for under $19.50 this a.m. I suppose you feel sorry for me and did not want to upset the openm market price. I think I would prefer cash. Best done at a TD nbank where I hav emy holdings through TD Waterhouse. GL with your other purchases.
