Bob, best case scenario is not available, but an acceptable one would be that all parties involved with an MGR resolution are now closer to an understanding. Dave just got back, and he was not in isolation, but talked to many persons. In my limited understanding of the situation, I think that movement must happen from the Mongolian side, and if so, then Dave must give these persons over there time to make decisions. And the fact that Dave took the time and expense to go to Mongolia and speak with persons, that those in Mongolia can proceed with each other in discussions knowing Dave's views and comments, and suggesstions and recommendations, if Dave made any. Dave also mentioned that MGR has other things happening there, so I see a trip as part of running a company. As for the very worst scenario, before Dave would drive the train engine off and leave us shareholders behind, I think Dave would not do this, but would lift the train off the ground and set onto concrete blocks and wait along with the shareholders. My opinion, is that unless something major happens, Dave will remain an MGR shareholder, and to me that says something. If something major happens, then we all will know about it soon enought, and it might even be something Bob will warm up to. I think Dave made it clear, in that MGR can wait a long time, the gold will not wash away in the rains, and the price of gold can go up. And Bob, before those 99.9999% gold bars start to arrive, you can buy mgr at a 99% discount. For example, rather than 100 pennies, cost of 1 penny. And with it now at 7 pennies, then when gold is mined, 700 pennies = $7 stock. Doug |
