Tim, lets not worry about margin at this point - we are trying to get a
handle on headcount and direct expenses/capital charge first. You will have
your day in court to discuss margin soon.

I received the 2001 plan that Dave sent up here. Chris and I talked and are
working through all of the questions that Dave had. I noticed that the gross
margin plan for west power trading was $170 million. When you were here I
talked about $100 million total and then you talked me up to $120 million
total with $100 from the trading efforts and $20 from middle
market/services. Why the change from $120 to $170? Perhaps it was a
typo????? While I intend to make as much money as I possibly can next year,
the $170 number seemed high. Particularly given the regulatory freak show
that is going down in California right now.
