	This doesn't prove anything. Commodore stock goes up and
down like a roller-coaster. It was down at around 3-4 not too
long ago and before that it was up to 20. What has happened
during this time that wasn't predictable? Not a whole hell of a
lot. Certainly not enough for the stock to drop by 80% and now to
go up over 150%. The stock market is legalized gambling.
	The bottom line is sales, and all of north america
(including, obviously canada) contribute only 18% of total sales.
That means the US represents a little over 10% of total sales.
That sucks, and Commodore knows it. Hopefully they'll be able to
bring it around.
