I applaud you and Doc for all you have written and done. As well, there were others who helped lead the charge and there were enough things committed by management that I thought we had a better than average chance to get some consideration. But money talks. I've heard that phrase since I was a ten year old. The way the world is going that may be changing, but we may not like the change either.

So the ruling of the court doesn't surprise me in the least. I might have fainted in disbelief if justice had been done. Now you hold hope that the political interests might help. You stand an even less chance with them. Very few times does a politician walk the talk.

Keep watching the situation in Greece. The monied interests have loaned money IF the government cuts back. How have the people shown their views? With civil unrest. The politicians are caught in the middle with very little wiggle room. Once this boosted the price of gold but now that things have gotten more serious, even it has declined. I'm afraid that until we have a very serious situation here like they have over there, we will not see much consideration shown to the retail investor by anyone, including the politicians.

Get used to Max. Those of us who are staying the course with CMM through thick and thin are hanging on to his coat tails for now.
