Investing in almost anything today takes on a degree of risk that is challenging to say the least.

It's nice to have some frank discussons here with respect. After your recent posts, I feel even better about the prospects for SFMI since there is one investor who trusts the auditor, one who trusts and is impressed with the Mill manager, one who vouches for Pierre and one who likes the project and thinks Rich is credible. On top of that, all of you have been to the site and seem to like what you have seen...and all have done thorough DD...with one going back to a year and a half ago. Collectively there is also a unique combination of experience, knowledge and intellect.

Lets hope things develop at a reasonable pace and that our expectations are realisitc enough to be met. As we all know there are always delays and pitfalls in any endeavour. I am optimistic and look forward to unfolding events.
