RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Mail from RogerPanis, others...point is, anyone can make money on paper in a stable/bullish, risk-on environment in the capital markets. But the real test of leadership is during the difficult times when the cracks start showing...how much prep did management make for them? If the spend on exploration and wages is set to continue in 2012, why will the outcome be any different? Because we'll have a recognised report to stick the numbers into? Guess again. Try telling that to GORO...stock has gone from $2 to $20 since 2009...it's in production, paying a dividend and NO 43-101. I have enough respect for the main posters on this board to have read all your posts and I value your opinions...but I have to say that whilst you all seem to have the upside well and truly pegged and you've managed to accommodate the latest pp and still remain positive, I'd really like to hear what some of you conviction longs think about Roger's responses regarding what (if any) lessons they have learned from 2011. Only steadfast has risen to my challenge of plotting a plan b in case the capital markets don't play ball LIKE THEY HAVEN'T IN 2011...btw steadfast, that was a great post...still waiting to hear others' views before commenting...and i'm disappointed frizzers stirred up a good debate but didn't follow through when I pushed back at him...just stickin' it out there...sjm
