Yes he doesn't like Anderson, well who does ... interesting, i didn't recall what he was saying about Colossus before that, sort of tuned out of talk about it from the first, the small size of the property combined with surrounding ownership and the cooperative sort of stuck out real plain, so i never really gave it a chance, in fact don't know that much about it to this day, so not in a position to say much
Agreed that Otto comes across like he's ruled by emotion, something self-indulgent and juvenile in the style of name-calling, you have to admit it's kind of entertaining though, good zippy read at times, also many of the recipients of his lippiness deserve it and more ... but it comes out odd sometimes too, he called James West a dumbass once, for something minor, i thought jeez Otto, what's the matter, having a slow day, can't find a more worthy target
Anyway this doesn't stop him from having a grasp of Latam political pulse, both can be true at the same time ... no single individual will ever be able to cover a continent, but i think he nailed Ecuador pretty well ... it happens that he shares my pre-existing distaste for Colombia, and on Venezuela he's wrong imho, trusting the bunch in power today will prove to be a mistake, this Rusoro will either get ripped off by the chavistas or be in cahoots with them to rip off those who finance the mines ... it's the nature of the place - previous admin was just as corrupt, only with different beneficiaries, and the bureaucracy just sits there and squats on any possibilities of productive enterprise anyway, so what does it matter
True enough, managements of Crystallex and Gold Reserve have never been the best representatives for canuck miners, but i suspect that's because the best were smart enough to apply their effort elsewhere ... speaking as a holder of Cadre csl.v, lol, never met Sandner face to face and probably should have, check him out for competence and straight shooting, well Howy's on the job now, but i tend to suspect it's a nice river, great project, wrong country |
