Hey Big, Congrats on the success of your new restaurant!
I don't understand why you didn't just start your own oil & gas exploration company, with all the contacts you must have in the oil business. You'd be amazed what backgrounds folks come from who end up becoming CEO's of publicly traded E&P companies. All the actual work can be outsourced, alls you gotta do is get deal flow, and raise $$$. As a rig broker (if I recall your background correctly) you have shown that you can convince folks to make large investments. This is basically the same thing.
I tell ya, I got it all figured out. We'll call it Big Dog Exploration Company, and get you public after a year, on the OTCBB, ticker BDEC. Name jim_p and Frank to your Board, contract with que to be your hedging manager, and best of all, contract with me to be your VP of Hype! We'll run your stock so high you'll forget about the restaurant business, and you won't haveta work weekends either!
I say the above only half in jest!
I swear, if I lived in Texas that's what I'd be doing right around now. |
