I bought some more after meeting and chatting with Andreas Kaufmann in autumn 2006 at the LHSA annual meeting in Wetzlar and being persuaded that he was indeed turning the Company. When the World Depression hit in autumn 2008 Leica Camera's share price fell to a low of Euro/2.60 and suicide beckoned. Then came the M9 on 09/09/09 at 0900. While the share volume is rarely above three figures, i.e. a few hundred shares, the price has been rising steadily and Friday was at 7 Euros. If it keeps going it might just finance me a new M9. Keep buying, friends. ;-) Seth
