"And Show-me-the-gold:- this stuff is really not helpful. At this point in time, you're either in or out. Your decision was been made some time ago. Anyone on this board who still has shares ain't selling now."

Fenalet, not entirely true. I recently bought into this company for the first time. I looked at it for several months, and reading the posts on this Board was useful to me in coming to that 'buy' decision.

I, for one, appreciate both the 'optimistic' and the 'not so cheery' views expressed. As long as they are respectful and topical, I can handle it. In fact, if 100% of the opinions here were optimistic, I would be very suspicious of that and would likely stay away.

While I do respect the long term shareholders here and the frustration many must be feeling over what seems to be another delay in a long series of delays, I think it's important to also realize that at sub .40/share, there are new buyers in this company. We are buyers because, while we recognize the risks involved vis a vis a company with all its chips in Venezuela, we are willing to assume the risks now because the risk-reward balance has shifted slightly.
