Well, Deputy, I said he may return so that is not guaranteed. It is not the fault of this forum itself that he left. It is some individuals who for whatever reason do not follow his thinking. He sometimes leaves me in the dark as well. That isn't too hard to do. I base my view on his experience at TCC. He left there and I thought he may never return but he has. It is good for them he returned and I have hopes he will return here.

Hoov is not the only good thinker who has left a BB in utter frustration with posters. One of the things I like about a BB that is monitored is you can get rid of the worst offenders. I have been in the stock market since 1965 and have never seen another stock quite like ZEN. Its behaviour has many who own it on edge. This is why some who are normally rational find themselves behaving irrationally.

No news I think is the main reason for this behaviour. I think we all would want news with some substance to stay abreast of developments within the company. But AE along with the BOD has not said anything. Some who have called the office have not been able to learn anything. This thing called ZEN has tighter security than Fort Knox.

What about AE? So many have praised him as being the best CEO and running the company well. He decides the news isn't ready and that makes him a bad CEO? I'm not sure if his critics are the same people who praised him, but pressure sure does funny things to people.

Everything we know about ZEN has been good news. Grades, tonnage, and purity to name a few. All have met or exceeded expectations. I think ZEN is the real deal. We do need to know if we can compete in the synthetic market, and that should be with the PEA. That's the news I am waiting for. Anything else he would say would do nothing. Check back and see what the market did with past NR's. If I was AE I would be doing the same thing he is doing. We'll all be singing his praises soon.

Cheers!
