	Iraq's takeover of Kuwait wasn't predictable, of course.
Looking at what I wrote I misphrased it. I was trying to say that
nothing unusual has happened that would cause the stock to go
from 4 5/8, as you say, to 10. I had thought that the stock
dropped to the high 3s rather than the high 4s, but that is a
trivial difference at this point (it is now around 10 8).
	The recent upsurge to 10 (from as you say 8 but I thought
it was lower) happened very quickly, 1 point in the last day,
such that people were wondering what was going on. I say the
market is legalized gambling. Even if nothing happens the stock
will surge and fall. It also makes no sense for the stock to go
up come Christmas time and fall immediately afterwards unless
people felt that the company would do excellently and instead it
did badly over Christmas. Logic of course has little to do with
this.
