Okay, let's get real "Mr. Grasso"
David, first of all let me say, I really don't take relish in you or anyone losing your job and don't like all taunts you're getting over it, I was (among other shareholders) trying to honestly defend our investment from misinformation, that is all, and it was bound to come out sooner of later. I've also heard you're damn successful and wealthy so I guess I shouldn't feel too sorry for you either.
Now to brass tacks:
<<And my (Hilton Head) number is unlisted.>>
False. _You_ do not have an unlisted number in Hilton Head. I checked with your phone company. They will unlist your number but not your name. If you had phone service there you would be _listed_ by name with your _number_ unlisted. Your name is not listed. It is not the policy of your areas phone company to offer people totally anonymous service. Interestingly, there are some Schechters listed in Hilton Head. Relatives?
<<I will call and leave a message but have no reason to leave my number.>>
I didn't think _you_ would. But someone who is sincere when they wrote as you (paraphrased) did "I respect your research and I'm just an average guy trying to figure out how to play for the win..." would have called and left their number. That post was just a ploy IMO.
<<If you would like to converse with me please e-mail me>>
Nah, I'll do it here, lets talk about how the heck did you know the IPM PR before it came out???!!! It could be coincidence, but it sure looks like you knew. My hats off to you, boy did you _call_ this one on the button:
<<To: +Bob Markley (26105 )

No bluff bob..........I revealed my hand to you. Now it is just a matter of seeing who will win. Unfortunatly for the longs, they can't see their hole card (the report).>>
Could you see David?
<<Some think it's an ace, I don't... if it is not up to all of your expectations, not saying scam just not a great report, I see a mass exodus, leaving me a nice profit.>>
Quite a call. Thanks for admitting there is not scam here. Maybe you could tell that to yourself on your next 5 minute apart post to Hungry Lion! Those really crack me up, you posting to yourself. Anyway, you _nailed_ that the IPM PR was going to have something there and prove it not a scam, but be below the mass expectations here. Bingo. And you posted this right after the rally ended, and I believe before a final dip... hmmmmmmmmm... I am reminded of Walter's quote, "you can't believe the power of my (short) friends..."
As for the second part of your prognostication, you could be right, but that is something you can not be precient about -- and the thread (and myself) IMO are recovering pretty well from "below expectations" and starting to objectively focus on what we do have. We both know there will be no mass exodus among the institutional longs Monday, and a new one is putting up 10 mil -- so someone sees a _future_ here... So we will see what happens... I hope your wrong.
<<It is so rare that there are tons of winners and a few losers.>>
True. In Jr. mining there are way more losing issues than winning, but _all_ those that hold (early shares) in one of the few winners do come out well in the end.
<<I happen to believe there will be a few winners and ALOT of losers in this stock.>>
There has already been a lot more losers IMO from the biased press and shananigans of you shorts. Congradulations.
