RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Skepticism on GGIInfidel, I think you're a step behind. Sure, if they prove up a huge resource this year, you will call that significant de-risking. Problem is, by then the opportunity will mostly have passed you by. I made a lot of money because I got in as low as six cents, average about forteen cents. If you wait for the proof, you will be rewarde accordingly. That's fine if you aren't looking for the multi-bagger. But you will definitely be late to the party.
I don't remember losing "an absolute fortune." I did have a toe-hold in the stock. Several hundred thousand shares, yes, but they were bought very cheap. I participated in the pp in August because I had my eyes on the ball. Holding on to the position put me in the driver's seat with connections to the company.
By "minions" are you referring to my wife or my sons? I don't really have any minions. I wish people would listen to me, though. You do give me a lot of credit - and thanks for that.
I have gotten relatives and friends into this. I can't think of why I would do that if I didn't expect a positive outcome.
I guess you and I will have to disagree about this company being a "hail Mary" at this point. Too much data and too much confermation to call it that. But I will agree that this is a very risky sector. That's why I go big on the best ponies. Suit yourself.
