SEC guidelines prevented me from divulging this information until now, but Fed
Chairman Greenspan has insisted that I tell this story to reassure investors
and the financial markets.

After 10 years of self-employment on the periphery of the US economy so as not
to drag it into recession, I took the dramatic action several weeks ago of
taking a management position with a large firm in the Orlando area.  The
results to the economy have been crippling and investors have lost over a
trillion dollars of paper profits in a few short weeks.  While I did foresee
the havoc I would cause in the US, I must admit that I was surprised at the
domino effect I had on the Russian economy.  For this I am indeed sorry.
Because of the chance for insider trading to make the recent crash even worse,
I was sworn to secrecy.

Chairman Greenspan, attempting to end this tailspin, has suggested that I
don't work so hard at my new job, thinking that if I devote more time to my
hiking interests, that the markets will have a chance to stabilize and the
damage from my business methods will be minimized.  So that's why I'm here
gang.  Can't be working all that overtime anymore.  It's become a national
security issue.  Will you have me back?  Are the hiker babes still here?  Can
I cause havoc here instead of the world economy?

My company, without consulting national security officials, today published a
picture of me on their website.  Thus causing whatever ailments you've been
beset by today.  Rather they should have consulted a billboard company to rent
advertising space on the expansive Solar Bear forehead.  I tried for the
quizzical come hither smile to drive all the hiker babes wild, but as you will
see if you click on the link at the end of this SEC filing, that I fell
somewhat short of my objective.  But to all the hiker babes out there, come
hither anyway!  :)
