hi stockgreed, don't feel like our conversation are bickering and appreciate your response and pov.

of course we do agree, but we differ in our response. i like to keep investors involved what damage smith has done over the years because i strongly feel that keeping up the pressure is the only appropriate thing we could do at this point in time. also quite sick and tired from those asskissers and sweettalkers around him that try to get some info to frontrun on. ventilating their pump and asskissing on this board to please him and in order to be able to keep talking to the man.

because if smith screws up again....one doesn't want to even think about it. one way or the other the economy will tank again, i live in the usa and there is no doubt for me this will happen again. so if smith blows it again, and we have a double dip our money might never ever come back. not talking about making profit for anybody.

what i meant with champion is that indeed they did a bid twice and tried to buy fnc out, but after that and talking to the champion guy last wekeend they consider smith a non influence and somebody who you cannot control and is also not a real opponent to consider. my words but it felt like they think he is a nuthead and won't move even when the world is on fire. of course they do have an interest, but they are on the winning hand, something that cannot be said of smith. watching years of pp, i'm personally not very impressed by his negotation skills to be honest. the deal were always louzy at best and most of the time real shitty for the other shareholders, also the moment of making deals has quite a sloppy trackrecord.

anyhow, although we might have some potential at the moment, we definately should keep the presure on smith because he really has to know that if he blows it again, we will stalk him till he leaves being the boss.

by the way mcfaulds drilling seems to be screwed up by the strike of the natives for some time to come.

cheers, rose.
