"I think, um, at this point, getting to $5,000, probably just staying there is probably a good idea. And I think 5,000 overall, all around, is just going to be probably what we'll probably hang out at, because if we raise it to 1,000, you know, 3,000, probably in another year or two we'll ask again. But maybe if we say at 5,000, we might be able to just stay there."

However, I think, um, at this point, getting to $5,000, probably just staying there is probably a good idea. And I think 5,000 overall, all around, is just going to be probably what we'll probably hang out at, because if we raise it to 1,000, you know, 3,000, probably in another year or two we'll ask again. But maybe if we say at 5,000, we might be able to just stay there. So at least that would be the hope, at least in my opinion. Thank you.
