RE:Boots all re-filled... ha ha. Overriding curse of optimism has gotten me a few times too.
Lloking back I have had a few companies go belly up despite my rosy views.
But in looking back (over decades) I have never had any company go belly up with ZERO debt and $17 million in cash to carry them forward to an already proven (but not yet producing) resource that will supply a wall of cash.
