What is happening? – waiting and hoping. Someone was fiddling with their website but no sign of life there. A bit of a leak here and there.

Insight: Monday will come a news release. People will grin. It will be positive news. Get out the equipment. Get out the wax.  Have I ever been wrong.

And…..no one wants to be quoted.
