Here comes another last opportunity to get out and save some of what's left.
Some people lose money on get rich quick
schemes like this very stock.
Instead of cutting their losses and wandering off
with a lesson learned under their belt.
They linger for years and lash out at anyone
who knows the truth.
Bagholders and newbies need love.. The stock, GZFX, needs to be halted and all involved need to undergo investigations.
Slow stochastics are oversold and RSI is 35ish..
Might see a reversal from here.
.0018?
Wow.. at this point it would be hard for anyone to claim they are profiting with this scam stock.
Good luck newbies.. don't believe the rocketeers.
That was a narcoleptic relapse... not a nod
works fine for me..
Analysts: Dollar collapse
would result in 'amero'
Think deep recession likely
regardless of Fed's actions

Two analysts who have reconstructed money supply data after the Fed stopped publishing it argue a coming dollar collapse will set the stage for creating the amero as a North American currency to replace the dollar.
The reconstructed M3 data – the broadest measure of money – published on econometrician Gary Kuever's website, NowAndFutures.com, shows M3 increased at a rate of 11 percent in May, compared to 9 percent when the Federal Reserve quit publishing M3 data earlier this year.
Asked why the Fed decided to stop publishing M3 data, Kuever told WND, "The Fed probably wants to hide how much liquidity is being pumped into the market, and I expect the trend to keep pumping liquidity into the market will continue, especially since the economy is slowing down."
Why is this important?
"The trend line in my M3-plus-debt chart is staggering," Kuever said. "There has been a straight, long-term trend line of M3-plus-credit increasing since 2000. Long-term, we are creating inflation and the dollar has lost almost 98 percent of its value in the past 100 years."
Kuever, a retired investor, is concerned that with growing budget and trade deficits "the dollar could collapse."
"Especially if the Fed cannot increase rates, because we have already entered a recession," he said.
Analyst Gary Kuever's chart shows M3-plus-credit, short term, from May 2000 to September 2006
Bob Chapman, who issued a reconstructed M3 estimate to the 100,000 subscribers to his newsletter, "The International Forecaster", agrees.
"The world is awash in money and credit," Chapman told WND. "My numbers show M3 increasing at about a 10-percent rate right now."
Chapman believes the U.S. economy entered a recession in February. In his newsletter of Dec. 9 he predicted the Fed would hold interest rates at 5.25 percent.
"The Fed is in a very tough spot here," Chapman wrote, "If they raise rates, the real estate market will collapse, and if they lower rates, the dollar will collapse."
Meeting yesterday, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee voted, as Chapman had predicted, to hold the overnight lending rates between banks steady at 5.25 percent. This was the fourth straight meeting the Fed had voted not to change rates. In its rate announcement, the Fed affirmed the economy had slowed.
Almost immediately after the announcement of the Fed's decision, the dollar weakened to a new 20-month low against the euro, with currency markets reportedly pricing in the expectation the Fed will be forced to lower rates next year to bolster the economy. Following the announcement by the Fed, the U.S. Dollar Index, or USDX, also dropped, with the dollar going below 83.
A dollar collapse is imminent, Chapman declared.
"Technicians studying the USDX think there is a support level for the dollar at 75, but I don't think so."
How low could the dollar go?
"If the dollar breaks through 78.33 on the USDX," Chapman answered, "my guess is the dollar will go through a 35-percent correction, which would put it at 55."
"The key in how low the dollar goes is the interest rates," Chapman told WND. "In January, the Fed is going to have to make a decision which way to go. If Fed rates go up, the dollar will hold in the 78.33 range, but the stock market and the economy will tank. If next year the Fed lowers rates to keep the economy from crashing, the bottom will fall out of the dollar, and I see it going as low as 55. Once the dollar hits bottom, it will take the stock market and the economy right with it anyway. The Fed is in a box they can't get out of."
As WND reported earlier this week, in an unusual move, the Bush administration is sending virtually the entire economic "A-team" to visit China for a "strategic economic dialogue" in Beijing Thursday and Friday. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke are leading the delegation, along with five other cabinet-level officials, including Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez. Also in the delegation will be Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, Energy Secretary Sam Bodman, and U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab.
But Chapman doubts the trip will help the Fed to engineer a slow dollar slide.
"The Chinese are going to do what the Chinese want to do, not what we want them to do," he said. "I believe the Chinese are going to send Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke home packing, with little or nothing to show for the trip."
How severe will the coming dollar collapse be?
"People in the U.S. are going to be hit hard," Chapman warned. "In the severe recession we are entering now, Bush will argue that we have to form a North American Union to compete with the Euro."
"Creating the amero," Chapman explained, "will be presented to the American public as the administration's solution for dollar recovery. In the process of creating the amero, the Bush administration just abandons the dollar."
Yep, the buck has been on thin ice for some time... Thanks to the morons we all put in office, year after year.
You could always send Nirvana this a way, Tex.
I'm sure Bob wouldn't mind losing him.
He is right about the Euro too.
up
Lava.. you are a bit late.. I've been telling people to watch the bullish reversal since Febuary..

Yup.. breakout coming for the eur/usd... Happy turkey day to you all.
unfortunately no spell checker is encluded
Ahhh Yes.. "PR will be out next week"
That one is original.
Just hold those shares a little longer..
Don't sell..
Be in the cool club and be a long...
Nevermind the fact that particular club will dwindle your money to nothing.
Yeah, there's no doubt DVD format will be around for decades to come..
Some people still use VHS and some even still have beta's..
My point was it is far too easy to download movies for free.
I had Ice Age 2 months ago... for free.
Ok Agent.. that's a nice LITTLE production company to contract for some web based advertising that will be seen by atleast the two or three thousand shareholders GZFX has..
Hardly answers my question about national TV ads though.
LOL.. I downloaded the video_TS file almost two months ago..
Renting movies is pointless if one can simply download thenm for free months ahead of their scheduled release.
Even if GZFX expands to "Europe" It will be a scam aimed at luring more investing dollars from Germans who can trade this pittifull excuse for a stock.
Sure on the outside it looks like a great idea to expand overseas.. BUT GZFX CAN'T EVEN MUSTER THE ABILITY TO OPERATE HERE YET.
Movies wait in que for an eternity and games are even worse.
The company spends more money on JF's vacations than they do on actual advertising.
Where's the national TV ads that will attract thousands of customers?
My next point is this silly notion that we as shareholders should somehow become proactive.
Trading stocks has nothing to do with becoming a company loyal soldier.
Trading stocks is about picking a winner and selling at the peak of it's run...
That run has already happened for GZFX..
You are about a year late.
GZFX is done.. Has been done since January.. as I have stated numurous times.
You all called me names when I said sell this POS at .015 almost a year ago...
Still dropping...
This stock is nearing all-star scam classification at a dizzying pace.
What happened to all the predictions about 100,000 subs by now?
What happened to .10 by now?
Too bad no one was warned about this stock.
I wouldn't call that a HUGE divergenccce.. Simply might be a bounce off the fifty.
Looking carefully at the monthly eur/usd chart.. It is quite clear that the head and shoulders pattern did not come to fruition.
If anything the pair does look to be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the second and most recent shoulder in the formation, one can see it has lingered too long.
Some of the volatility loss can be the result of volatility increases in the stock exchanges.
Seems as the two are inversely related to some degree.
Reminder, there are quite a few decent to good brokers to choose from..
My favorite is GFT... Mainly because of the charting, but I'm sure you'll get a few responses declaring others are better.
Yep Mick.. My thinking is we are seeing a last hurah in a bearish reversal pattern.
Populace fluctuations are directly related to market volatility.
Dollar could slide if Congress goes to Democrats
Fri Oct 20, 2006 1:33 PM ET
By Steven C. Johnson
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Long considered a truism, the idea that "political gridlock is good for financial markets" may prove false for the U.S. dollar after the Congressional elections next month.
Recent opinion polls show the Democratic party has a good chance of winning control of Congress in the November 7th elections, increasing the risk of dollar-negative reforms.
Some investors fear that a fiercely adversarial Congress that confronts a Republican White House on Iraq, taxes, spending, and free trade, could cause enough policy uncertainty to frighten foreign investors into cutting back temporarily on buying dollar-denominated assets.
"It would create problems for the stock market and maybe make some foreigners wary of financing the U.S. deficit, leaving the dollar vulnerable," said Michael Cheah, who manages $2 billion in mostly fixed-income investments at AIG SunAmerica Asset Management in Jersey City, New Jersey.
With less than three weeks to go until the election, polls show support for the ruling Republicans and President George W. Bush at levels that are worse than when the Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994.
Currency strategists worry that Democratic vows to repeal President George W. Bush's capital gains and dividend tax cuts could hurt the dollar, as could renewed attempts to slap tariffs on Chinese imports.
Andrew Busch, global market strategist at BMO Capital Markets in Chicago, said rescinding tax cuts would end the stock market's recent bull run, adding "the dollar wouldn't get any traction from that."
HEADING FOR GRIDLOCK?
Forecasting the impact of elections on any financial market is a delicate art, and that's especially so given the dollar's idiosyncratic behavior this year.
The dollar has shed some 7.0 percent versus the euro since January, but has not fulfilled the dire forecasts of those who expected a slower economy, a narrowing interest rate advantage over Europe, and an ever-widening U.S. trade deficit, to combine to spark a dollar freefall.
Polls show Democrats have a strong chance of winning the House of Representatives, the legislature's lower chamber. Should they capture the Senate, too, President Bush's agenda could be stuck in neutral during his final two years in office.
Unlike most voters, financial markets tend to view gridlock as good, reasoning as political humorist P.J. O'Rourke once famously did, that "giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
Dennis Gartman, independent analyst and author of the daily Gartman Letter on investment strategy, concurred. "I am a firm believer that the best form of government is gridlock," he said, adding that fewer new laws usually mean less interference in markets.
In a recent note to clients, Deutsche Bank strategists pointed out that the dollar rallied in 1981 and 1995 following midterm elections in which single-party control of Congress and the White House gave way to shared control of government.
While the high level of U.S. interest rates at those times undoubtedly played a role, "the U.S. political mix at the very least did not appear to provide an impediment to the dollar," they wrote.
BRIGHT SPOTS
But Deutsche Bank's Frank Kelly, who keeps an eye on government affairs of interest to investors, said strong opposition to President Bush's policies may make the Democrats' post-election agenda quite activist in order to generate momentum for the 2008 presidential election.
Also, BMO Capital Markets' Busch notes that he who controls the House wields "enormous power" because passing legislation requires a simple majority, unlike in the Senate, where a party must marshal 60 of 100 votes to push bills through.
There are potential bright spots for the dollar though. Some feel that Democrats would be more committed to a balanced government budget, which in the long run could be beneficial for the dollar.
The U.S. also runs a current account deficit with the rest of the world of around 6.0 percent of gross domestic product and relies heavily on foreign buying of U.S. assets to finance it.
Some economists fear that if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates next year amid slower U.S. growth, investors could shy away from U.S. dollars, making it harder for the country to finance its trade deficit.
But AIG's Cheah said it would take a Democrat in the White House, as well as running Congress, to make progress on this front.
Meanwhile, protectionist pressures will mount irrespective of who controls Congress, if the U.S. economy continues to slow in 2007, said Brad Setser, research director at New York consulting firm Roubini Global Economics.
But Cheah said the sheer volume of pressing issues facing the White House these days, from Iraq and Afghanistan to Iran and North Korea, mean two years of bickering and uncertainty would unnerve markets.
"We have a lot of such problems, and investors are concerned about them," he said.
All Three were hillarious to me.
The fact that he pushed the line a bit further wasn't the issue.. as we have all heard of a donkey show and ninety percent of us on the web have seen one via that same web.. Such matters are not nearly as risque as they once were..
There was a lack of hunger in his comedy..
What makes comics great.. what makes them more than average.. is
... rage.
Rage at idiocy makes a comic.
Clerks was about the futility of that exsistence.
The humor to be found in that rage was what made that movie work.
Kevin Smith has nothing to be mad about anymore.. He's rich and nobody cares that he's fat.
He's still funny... just not insanely funny, anymore.
Clerks II while peppered with humor can in no way compare with the hillarity of the first Clerks.
In fact none of Kevin Smith's films can compare with Clerks.
Though Dogma does come close... but in a big budget hollywood way.
Backed into a corner?.. Umm I think the idiot did it to himself.
Has he done anything right in the last six years?
Not really.. and this last year has been the cherry on top.
He tried to show off his missles...
Think about how that went for him.
He launched six scud distractions which all flopped into the ocean far short of their range, and with no direction at all.
The one long range missle he launched blew up 42 seconds into it's flight.
Our laser based missle defense kills missles at what point into their flight?
About 42 seconds.. give or take five.
HUGE failure.
Now he's pissed
Next step?
Set off a nuke.
Ok so he does.
Now two weeks later the whole world is debating whether or not it was even a nuke..
That's too funny for prime time in itself.
He is the one backing himself into his own chest slapping, window licking, helmet wearing, short bus riding corner.
Now he's getting frustrated.. Surely his top scientist was killed a week ago and his next best is planning a better nuke test under threat of his kidnapped family.
This next test will be a better show.. but still short of a three kilo tonne blast.
The world will react with outrage and the news networks will run a plethera of stories detailing just how devestating Kim's firecrackers would be under the most perfect of situations.
People will be forced to fear the impossible and we will invade..
Using half the strength needed to win any such war. We will plod along as story after story emerges about the "Real" threat Kim was.
The whole time this goes on our economy seemingly booms and our taxes edge up.. and up.. and up.
You're right.. All Kim has been interested in has been that fat envelope...
Will he get another?
I'm not real sure actually.. I'm hoping he doesn't.
What is forefront in my crystal ball is the fact that China is building a fence.
China's concern is twofold..
The want to continue their arms selling front to test their weapons against ours.
If there is a war with Kim they want to keep the refugees out.
They are building a fence.
Kim is not only crazy.. but yes stupid as well...
N. Korea May Be Preparing for 2nd Nuclear Test
By CHOE SANG-HUN and JOHN O’NEIL
SEOUL, Oct. 17 — North Korea may be preparing for a second nuclear test, South Korean and Japanese officials said today, as the Communist state threatened “merciless blows” against any country imposing the sanctions just adopted by the United Nations Security Council.
A spokesman for the North Korean foreign ministry called the sanctions a “declaration of war” and said that the regime in Pyongyang was more confident in its ability to deter attacks now that it had joined the nuclear club.
American officials on Monday confirmed for the first time that North Korea did set off a nuclear explosion on Oct. 9, as it claimed, and that the blast was far smaller than would normally be expected, suggesting that the test may have misfired. That could give North Korea two motives for a second test, nuclear scientists and security analysts said: To proclaim defiance of the sanctions and to show that it is capable of a successful nuclear detonation.
In Seoul, a senior South Korean government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said today that there were indications — though not definite evidence — that a second test was being prepared.
“There are certain signs that prompted our authorities to cast a very sensitive eye on the matter,” the official said.
In Tokyo, the Japanese foreign minister, Taro Aso, made a similar statement. “We have received such information, but I cannot tell you the details,” he said.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said today that a second test would be no surprise. “The North Koreans have made no secret of their desire to be provocative,” he told reporters, according to news service accounts. “The first test, while nuclear, did have a low yield, and perhaps it would not be unreasonable to expect that the North Koreans would like to try something again.”
France today responded to word of possible test preparations by warning the regime in Pyongyang that a second blast could lead to “further measures” by the Security Council.
“A new test would constitute an act of extraordinary irresponsibility,” said Jean-Baptiste Mattei, the foreign ministry spokesman, Agence France-Presse reported.
On Monday, the American secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, said that Washington was watching for indications of a possible test. “I think it goes to say that that would further deepen the isolation of North Korea, and I hope they would not take such a provocative act,” she said.
Ms. Rice is scheduled to leave Washington today on a trip to Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing and Moscow for consultations on enforcing the U.N. sanctions, which were approved by the council over the weekend.
Nuclear experts said today that the analysis of atmospheric samples taken after the test shed new light on the factors that could lead to a second demonstration. American officials who reviewed the results of atmospheric sampling said on Monday that the material used for the test appeared to have been plutonium harvested from North Korea’s small nuclear reactor.
Because the material came from the reactor, which operated under international inspection between 1994 and 2003, and not from a uranium-enrichment program that North Korea began in secret, nuclear experts said that it was easier to gauge how much weapons material the North may now have on hand. Most intelligence analysts estimate that the country has enough plutonium for 6 to 10 bombs.
“It appears clear that the test fell far short of the kind of blast the North Koreans wanted to get world attention,” said Lee Un Chul, a nuclear scientist at Seoul National University. “There is a high possibility of them conducting a second test after finding out what went wrong. A question is how much plutonium they have left. They can’t use it all up with repeated tests. If a second test is a failure, too, it will be a huge humiliation for them.”
American and South Korean officials gave little weight to the latest bellicose statement from North Korea, which was released today by the regime’s official news agency, KCNA.
“The D.P.R.K. had remained unfazed in any storm and stress in the past when it had no nuclear weapons,” the statement said, referring to the country by the initials odf its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “It is quite nonsensical to expect the D.P.R.K. to yield to the pressure and threat of someone at this time when it has become a nuclear weapons state.”
The statement, issued by a spokesman for the foreign ministry, said the Security Council resolution calling for sanctions against the North was tantamount to “a declaration of war,” and it promised that the regime “will deliver merciless blows without hesitation to whoever tries to breach our sovereignty and right to survive under the excuse of carrying out the U.N. Security Council resolution.”
In Seoul, South Korea’s top nuclear negotiator, Chun Yung-Woo, said the statement had “no surprises,” and was just “the usual rhetoric that they have been using,” according to Agence France-Presse.
The American envoy handling the North Korea situation, Christopher Hill, also said the statement contained nothing new.
Mr. Hill arrived in Seoul today for a meeting with Mr. Chun and with their Russian counterpart in preparation for Ms. Rice’s visit. Speaking of last week’s test, Mr. Hill said that Washington and its allies will work hard “to really make it clear that North Korea will pay a very, very high price for this type of reckless behavior.”
Mr. Hill, who is an assistant secretary of state, said Washington hoped to “harmonize” views with North Korea’s Asian neighbors during her trip.
Whether the North’s three main trade partners — China, South Korea and Japan — can act in concert will determine whether the set of broadly defined sanctions drafted by Washington and adopted by the Security Council on Saturday will be effective.
The senior South Korean official said his government was still reviewing its two major economic projects in the North, a tourism resort and an industrial complex, which provide the North Koreans with millions of dollars a year in hard currency that critics say can be used to finance the North’s weapons programs.
South Korean officials had earlier said that the projects should not be subject to the U.N. sanctions, which call for a ban on financial transactions linked to the North’s weapons programs. But critics note that the North Korean partners in the projects are state agencies and that Southern businesses operating in the industrial complex pay their workers’ wages to the North Korean government, not directly to the workers.
On Monday, China — by far North Korea’s largest trading partner — reportedly began searching trucks crossing its border into North Korea, and some of its banks halted transactions with the North. But doubt persists over the gaps between regional powers — most notably between the United States and China — over how vigorously to enforce the sanctions.
After American officials hailed the truck inspections, China’s U.N. ambassador, Wang Guangya, pointed out to reporters that the step did not mean that Beijing would take the more potentially provocative move of stopping North Korean ships at sea to search them, as the United States has requested.
“Inspections, yes, but inspections are different from interception and interdiction,” he said.
Mr. Wang noted that the resolution did not make it mandatory for all nations to inspect cargo. He said states could carry out such an operation as necessary “in accordance with their national legal authorities.”
Some branches of the Bank of China have halted remittances to North Korea, Japanese and South Korean news outlets said today. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao, declined to comment today on whether China was tightening restrictions on banking transactions with North Korea.
Ms. Rice said on Monday that she was confident of Chinese help in punishing North Korea.
“I am not concerned that the Chinese are going to turn their backs on their obligations,” she said. “I don’t think they would have voted for a resolution that they did not intend to carry through on.”
Choe Sang-Hun reported from Seoul and John O’Neil from New York. .
Yep Lava, EUR/USD looking very oversold on the daily...
Nice call
No I really don't see anything...
The backlash from the korean firecracker shouldn't last too long...
Our housing market is cooling if not downtrending...
The yen is supposedly pondering intrest rate hikes...
Sooo really all I see is a bounce off that trend line and back down.
Yeah good point.
It is a descending triangle.. I don't see the head and shoulders though.
But either way I like the long term short... It plays into my dollar pessimism over the long term.
Yeah hard to say which way it goes from here with that big of a trend line hanging overhead.
This is generally where I short from... but on a ten year chart it's a bit tricky.
I think ole kim has shown himself to be in posession of infirior millitary equipment for the second time. This has to have a good affect on the buck.

North Korea sets off an earthshaking explosion _ and claims it was nuclear. Was it? For scientists, that was not a quick and easy question to answer.
Like earthquakes, large explosions send out shockwaves that can be detected on seismographs. Big nuclear bombs make big waves, with clear signatures that make them fairly easy to detect, analyze and confirm that they were caused by splitting atoms. But smaller blasts _ as North Korea's appears to have been _ are trickier to break down.
The natural sound of the Earth, with its constant seismic activity of tectonic plates grinding together, complicates the task of trying to determine whether a smaller blast was caused by conventional explosives or a nuclear device, said Xavier Clement of France's Atomic Energy Commission.
He likened the problem to trying to "detect the violins or a flute in a symphony orchestra when you are playing the cymbals."
His agency estimated the North Korean blast at around 1 kiloton or less _ equivalent to the explosive force of 1,000 tons of TNT. For a nuclear device, that would be so weak that the French defense minister suggested that "there could have been a failure" with the North Korean reported test.
Clement said it could take days before scientists can declare with certainty whether the explosion was nuclear. And when blasts are very weak, "we could be in a situation where we cannot tell the difference between the two," he said.

The United States, Russia, China, Japan and South Korea are among the countries with equipment strong enough and close enough to monitor a North Korean test, said Russian nuclear physicist Vladimir Orlov of the Moscow-based PIR Center, a nonproliferation think-tank.
"It takes days, dozens of lab hours, to evaluate results. Now we can have only a rough estimate," he said.
The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, or CTBTO, has about 200 stations worldwide designed for monitoring nuclear tests as part of what it hopes will become the world's most reliable source for such tests. But until the treaty comes into force, the data are not made public, only released to governments and vetted partners.
Seismic data comes in almost immediately, and is usually passed to governments within an hour or so. Their scientists must decide what the numbers and graphs mean.
With the North Korean blast, there were wide variations. While the French atomic agency estimated around 1 kiloton and South Korea's geological institute half of that, Russia's defense minister expressed "no doubt" that North Korea detonated a nuclear test and said the force of the underground blast was equivalent to 5,000 to 15,000 tons of TNT.
"People have different way of cross cutting the data and interpreting them," said Lassina Zerbo, director of the International Data Center at the CTBTO, which is based in Vienna, Austria.
The test ban treaty, which bans all nuclear explosions, will not enter into force until it has been ratified by 44 states who possess either nuclear power or research reactors. So far 34 have ratified it. Holdouts include the United States, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.
The CTBTO's stations are more extensive than those used by most countries. They monitor seismic events but also underwater data, radioactive particles in the air and radiowaves.
"Within 72 hours we will have full data. Then all this will be available to member states," said Zerbo.
While the North Korean explosion was small, potentially complicating monitoring efforts, sensors in South Korea were likely close enough to categorize it as nuclear, if that is what is was, said Friedrich Steinhaeusler, professor of physics at Salzburg University.
A nuclear blast also gives off a clear signature _ a clear graph of peaks and curves _ that differentiates it from other kinds of shocks, he added.
"We'll have the confirmation soon," he said.
It's looking more and more like that "Nuke" North Korea set off was either malfunctioning, super small, or just a bunch of TNT.
That should have the same effect their failed missle launches had on the buck.
Add to that the fact that the Buck/Yen is just under a ten year trend line and one should see that this is the time to pay attention.
Probably more of the same BS talking solutions..
But with NK in the power seat as it has been clearly proven that the American people can't stomach war anymore.
You might be OK actually.
If NK does test a bomb it will have a far different affect than when we shot down seven of their missles.
