knight, I'am getting confused, and your recent posts sound like a man that wants to unconfuse ipmcf shareholders. We have a good match here. First, I addressed you as a man, but the name knight doesn't clue me in on your first name, so unless its one of those names that only parents could love, lets clear this up first, as in, is it mr or ms, and optionally your first name is ? Now time for speculation, rumor, guess, truth and black/grey/white facts. Its ok to present facts even when not having a clue, just so they will spur thoughts for discussion. Just so its not off-topic, anything goes, and after 33,000 posts, we can take it. Boy, does that beg the question, who has been on this thread the longest, and have you really read 33,000 posts ? Could be one of those cheap hotdog questions, and we all might be better off not knowing. Now IPM and NASDAQ delisting. If there was a JV possibility and the management saw it as saving IPM but also pink slip time for all, then could management do this without the OK from the board of directors ? Lets say this happened and the BOD were in on it. Then simply #@%*&@#. Now rather say something else happened, like management saw this JV as a way for a company to get control of IPM with the plan to go thru the motions of trying to extract precious metals, while at the same time orchestrating a series of events and news releases that cause great concerns over the extractions of precious metals from the desert dirts. So over a years time, current shareholders in all dirt companies dump their shares, and share price drops, and dirt companies cannot obtain financing....collapse. But the JV obtain of IPM still has the rights to the Black Rock dirt, and maby also picked up other dirts in area. Did I forget to mention that even tho a JV was in place for IPM, the unfortunate events resulted in the collapse of IPM, but the JV big company has first claiming rights to Black Rock, and took it. Next possibility or comments from knight are now wanted. And knight you have to add more than a finger pointing at current IPM management to convince others that you are doing more than a simple guess. Doug |
