There is that word again you like to use so much - hope - please dont do that as often!
Its like writing:
"While I conducted my research long ago, the validity of which I sometimes doubt, I do have trust that higher powers will reward my optimism and create material wealth for me, so that my wife may not beat the crap out of me with a rolling pin after I gambled away our money on obscure companies in a semi-communist state"
Its like Dale Carnegie + Martin Seligman + Prozac
