Don,
I don't think that Bill offered too much to Ned in the way of exclusive info. I spoke with Bill several days ago to check up on Bill's "state of mind", and the status of everything, and he would only allude to the Turks making progress on the issues that they face in their country. He said nothing to me about any contracts being signed in the eminent future.
However, neither did he exclude that possibility... :0)
If Ned got more info than I did, I'm jealous... <g>. However, you make a very sound point. For the company's protection (ie: our equity value) I suggest not pushing Bill on any details of already announced, or unannounced deals. And I certainly wouldn't publish any quotes from him here on the internet. And the Turkish deal HAS already been announced so it is no surprise that progress is being made. (that is, unless you never believed the press release in the first place... :0)
Bill has a different philosophy than most CEO's or the SEC. He believes that we, as shareholders, have the right to know what is going on with our investment. However, he is constrained by his legal counsels and gov't authorities as to what information is suitable for public release through the news wires.
I have made it a point NOT to ask too many questions, except in regards to the status of the processor, which I am entitled to know due to my partnership status. If I felt Bill was going into issues that I didn't need to know, I would politely advise him of this fact.
But then, we already have as much GRNO as we're going to buy, so I don't plan on trading on any "insider info" anyway.
Thanks for bringing up the issue.
Regards,
Ron
