No. The stock purchases are just enough to cover what is needed to zero balance. For example, issue 02/03 (second year, third issue) has expenses of $11,900 and revenues of $11,100. So there is an $800 shortfall covered by stock purchases. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco mailto:gomberg@wcf.com For low cost CO2 systems that work: http://www.wcf.com/co2iron Tropica MasterGrow in the USA: http://www.wcf.com/tropica -----------------------------------------------------------------
