Wow I spoke to Greek officialsHigh ranking Greek officials called me tonight to express their profound apologies to us all on this bullboard for not having been as diligent as they should have been in granting the permits.
They were consoling me as a long term investor, they noticed that, the long term, and they wanted to make me a part of their family. In one village they erected a wooden pole , painted in gold with an ELD flag,inviting locals to urinate on it as a sign of the friendship they extend to us shareholders,They want to thank us for investing in them and their future and the strange urination ritual is just an introduction to their ways . I was shocked by the sincere repentant tone of the Greek official who spoke in halting english but had to say i had no gold nugget yet to give to them, because the mine is not open yet. He was happy to say he would urinate on the ELD pole thinking of us and hopes those gold nuggets come his way someday.
