Heh, heh - bigdude has been back, displaying his subtle humour on bid.com mostly - Message 11047333
Jeffry, i think it will take more than alliteration to draw a meaningful parallel between Jordex and Bre-x, though truth be told, i do not like the rhyming myself. The name will be changed with the first run of changes in the near future, as it hasn't been an exploration company for some time, and won't be. And i think when you start comparing Staudt with Walsh and Hinchcliffe with Felderhof you'll begin to notice certain dissimilarities. As for the nationalist question, check out their citizenships, residencies, and the office location.
I should confess to being a card-carrying share-holding Jordista myself. Even sold some to one of my wives [no kidding, the current one, in fact]. And while i have been lurking cmgi, sfe, icge, etc threads recently to learn more about the venture capital scene for obvious reasons, that is not how i found you, actually i followed your bio from Jordex. While i do agree that John should perhaps have restrained his enthusiasm somewhat more than he did, i do understand the strength of feeling, it's been a long summer's wait for us. And maybe - just maybe he got an over-reaction?? ... makes for great inter-thread dynamics, though, eh.
But hey - On Topic - do you think a company the size of cmgi can sustain the growth rate it has enjoyed in the recent past? It really has been an impressive story - quote.yahoo.com ... but now, what does the future hold? ... sincere question, btw, i am considering it as well ...... cheers |
