Maggie,

There is a disconnect between the chart and your analysis. The chart clearly shows a decline in price from September to October, but your analysis refers to an increase.

In addition, your chart shows that prices are down about 11-12% (from an average of about $455M to $404), but you reference a 6% drop in the text.

Regards,

Hazen
