Skeleg,

If you were a CEO of a publicly traded company, and your wife was a major shareholder in that company, I think you’d be prudent and honest, and not mislead her when, as you say, "... I always say something like "should be able to do it on X" type of statement."-Skeleg

As a CEO or husband, I respect you for that.

But, please pardon my ignorance for asking this, since English is not my first language. Am I not correct in thinking that the words "SHOULD" and "WILL" have different meanings? If you had said to your wife, you "WILL" do X, and then didn't, if I were her, I might feel mislead, I might even feel I had been lied to, I might even, heaven forbid, lose confidence in you, maybe not trust you to keep your future promises, especially if you had not fulfilled a number of other promises when you had made it clear that you would.

That'd be bad for a CEO to do. It could hurt the company, maybe even a marriage.

I suppose, on the bright side, she may love you regardless of your personal foibles. So it’d be unlikely that your disappointing unfulfilled promises would lead to her looking for someone more reliable to trust in. After all, you were prudent and honest when never setting her expectations so high as to suggest a level of certainty that comes from saying, "I WILL". That’s what good husbands and managers do when setting expectations for their spouses and shareholders, respectively.

And speaking of what another good manager has said;

November 2009- (Dave Webb interviewed by Jim Puplava), Regarding the PFS, “ There’s often delays, and we’ve factored that into the schedule that we’re talking about, so we’re looking at having this [PFS] completed and presented to the public in the first half of 2010, so really, six or seven months from now it will be out in the public domain.”

12/23/09 - PFS "Results should be available within 6 months"

01/27/10 - "PFS due sometime in Q2 of this year"

02/16/10 - "will be completed by end of June 2010"

03/16/10 - "Expected to be finished within three to four months"

04/19/10 - "within the next six to eight weeks"

05/19/10 - "within the next month"

06/15/10 - "progressing normally and is scheduled to be received in the next few weeks"

For all that’s been said, I WILL expect to see a new release this coming week.

Cheers,

Baires
