Ann: Quarterly Activities Report, page-66

Hi all DHR holders - obviously I'm not happy with the current SP, but it is what it is for those of us holding long.

I'm not convinced that there is anything fundamentally wrong with DHR or that there are leaks etc. On the contrary, I think there is a very positive long term future here, and I haven't sold a jot, nor do I intend to. If the Directors sold down in a dramatic way, then I would have my doubts, but they haven't as far as I am aware.

The brutal reality of the market place is that it is all about the perceived 'utility' of money held in stock holdings. For traders, or people with short-term gains in mind, the real question is: is there a better place to put my money? - and if there appears to be something more shiny (given the recent unexciting, although not bad, but highly preliminary announcement from DHR), they will pull their money from DHR to chase what they will perceive as the next shiny stock. Could be anything, but that is not a reflection of the underlying fundamentals of DHR - just that it may take a bit longer than they are prepared to wait.

Hope this helps - and if you have the readies, could be a good time to add to your holdings...
