Ann: Chief Financial Officer , page-25

all i can suggest is...........

the SP does seem to follow patterns - nothing to do with the actual price, or chartists theories etc - but simply moves in line year after year with known, and sometimes unknown events.

e.g. lead up to announcements (like last week) tend to mean news is imminent. it hasnt arrived yet, maybe delayed.

with regard to last weeks rise, or perhaps todays drop, considering the annual figures are available (internally) and some have been made aware, and buy & sell accordingly.

not saying for a moment anything improper is happening - oh no no no no no.

its been part & parcel on NMS for several years now.
