RJ,

Chairman Mao may have said "a journey of 1000 miles begins by taking one small step" when leading the workers and the peasants' Red Army in his Long March back in 1934-36. But this period is not old enough to be qualified as an "ancient Chinese proverb".

As I understand it the original phrase and most often quoted "even the longest journey begins with the first step" came from Confucious back in the 550 BC period. Mao was not old enough to initiate that ancient wisdom.

So, what CLF will do next after having taken the first few steps (take-over of FWR, SPQ, and UC RoF cheap)? Its shareholders (and us) don't have years for waiting in this fast-pace world. Do a few TOs (e.g. of KWG, PRB BC, and FNC RoF) or something.
