Well PxEm (what kind of name is that anyway? Is it short for People's
Employee?),

From your mouth into God's ear, regarding the price. However, you did
not address a single one of the points I raised. I see People's as
behaving cynically and hypocritically toward its depositors and
investors. You can call that conservative if you want, but it doesn't
meet my definition of conservative.
