     Iran was predictable in it's take over of Kuwait??? A lot of people
     over there would have really been greatful if you had told them before 
     hand.

    Lets get some facts straight! Since July 90 Commodore stock has had
    a low of $4 5/8 and a High (last friday ) of $10.  In July/August it 
    was hovering around $7-$8 a share, when the Iran crisis broke the whole
    stock market dropped. This is when CBU hit the 4 5/8 low. It has since
    recovered quite nicely, have you noticed what the biggies are doing?
    Apple is still below what it was and I bet if you check you will see
    that IBM is also still down. 

    Commodore has had problems in the past which have caused it many
    headaches, but it is starting to look much, much better now.

    Have a nice day,
