Hi, Ken, I agree, it is unfortunate TS made himself such a target. You know, it's a funny thing. He created such rotten karma by his relentless tattoo he did on me ala MKM, including his deliberate misinterpretation of Ken Gammage's sell signal and vicious phonecalls to Ken's wife, which resulted in distasteful friction between me and my friend, Ken. And he's also pounced vigorously on just about anyone who crossed him on Prodigy for several yrs.
He even tried following another "guru," GR (on CKS and LAR) and didn't learn his lessons there, either.
Karma dictates his time was "bound to come." I just didn't know that he'd make such a public spectacle of his learning curve.
I know he's smarting and embarrassed to show his face, as well as has an expensive financial hickey he has to figure a way out of. This is probably the FIRST tax season he's looking forward to, frankly, since the bulk of his revenues come prior to 4/15 each year I suspect.
Beginners not only make mistakes as big as this one, Ken, but they also accompany such diastrous baby steps in this mining sector with the twin curse of "counting chickens before they're hatched" and can create some REEEEAL serious financial hardships for themselves, by spending money they don't truly have.
I DO want this chap to survive--he has valuable balance sheet analyticals skills, of that there is NO question. But, not all analytical skills are valuably transferable in the EXPLORATION STAGE gold mining plays. Other skills/experience are initially required.
I can only hope he learns the 4 biggy lessons from his mistake.
