Thanks, FI. But I don't think I was wrong -- in fact I think you made my point. You had to see several hundred and bid on one hundred to actuall...

Sorry to leave the wrong impression on owning real estate in the VI's. Thanks in part to the EDC, real estate values have risen quite nicely over the...
