Eaton Vance Short Duration (EVG)

The industry is what it is...the market is what it is, for that matter. We all know how the game is played. The big boys are on board now, at an unbelievably good price so now we will miraculously ascend. It is purely a coincidence, I can assure you. <g> Putting aside other things, the company has an excellent project, a top-notch geo team and now lots of money in the bank. Presumably the price will get up over $1.50 which will increase the probability the o/s warrants will get exercise and that's another $15MM in the bank, I believe.
