RE:(Bell Ringing) And.. They're Off! Chauncey I think the jockey did a great job getting us a better deal with Debeers, and then seperating KDI for the shareholders as a gift. He did a fine job raising the money and always included the shareholders. Then he got to agressive ambitious and overconfident and got us a rotten deal with the banks who made rediculous cash restriction demands. He didn't put safe guards against the market down turn because of the demonitization, dumping of diamonds by Debeers and Alarosa just as we entered the market, and of course the fall in prices. He was so bold as to make huge promises on TV about a $ 1.00 dividend in the first year and made all kinds of promises to investment houses. I for one was a great fan of this jockey but not anymore after analysing the whole situation. I think that jockey became unmanageable and was thrown off the horse. I think the new interim jockey is doing a fine job cleaning up his mess. I know a lot of poeple on this board don't have faith in him but I think he will finish the race for us.
