RE: Counting chickensRocky,
As Legend says, EB Farnum (and tantallon) are taking on your role at the "other forum". Like you, they don't like to get into discussions on the company they chose for their investment dollars. Talking about what fools they were in their assessment of ISM is too painful for them. Somehow, also like you, they seem to think that the fools they have been proven to be on ISM, doesn't detract from their credibility in analyzing LBE. Like you, they're also angry and frustrated that the company they have trashed, while singing the praises of ISM, is about to leave ISM in its dust. Like you, they have discredited the LBE CEO, and now have to face the embarrassing reality that the LBE CEO has taken his company to profitability, in less time than ISM has taken to realize its properties are now a failed mining experiment and destined for spin-out (if they figure how this should be done) to a likely slow death on the Venture exchange.
Like you, these birds have had to face the reality that they have been fools on the ISM assessment. Like you, they aren't bright enough to learn from that failure, they're going to allow their anger to force them into being fools on their assessment of LBE.
LBE will have the odd bump in the road, every company that's doing something has some unexpected setbacks. Gary Nash got LBE past the worst hurdle that could befall a developing producer, LBE supporters are confident he can deal with the normal setbacks that come with growing a company. Can you, tantallon or EBF say that about the CEO you hitched your wagon to?
Hurts, doesn't it, Rocky?
