Dear Dave,
I am an Ididabuyatafiver, and I'maholdineveryshare. The "I told you so" works both ways. When confirmation comes and the wishihadofboughtat$.05ers become wishihadofboughtat$.30ers, guess who can say "I told you so", but won't.
There once was a man named Guido,
Who swam, but wore no speedos.
Convention was just not his style,
So he flipped and he flopped by the mile.
When his instruments said he had found,
Billions in gold in the ground,
Well, Guido, he knew,
That the world would poo-poo.
But hey, do you really think that a guy named Guido who swims nude
is going to give a rat's .ss about what others say? All he cares is that his momma is proud of him, so he will tell the truth, even if it means the Silicon Investor thread crowd thinks he's nuts.
"Here's my findings, Terry."
"12 million proven. 400 million inferred. Are you nuts? No one will buy that. We'll be the laughing stock of the miner's masons."
"Well, I would be comfortable going with the low end."
"What's the low end?"
"About 1/2 of that."
"You gave me this last year. I made you work another year because no one believed it the first time. Now you say there is more than you found the first time?"
"I only tell you what I see. If you are going to put my name on it, you must tell the truth. My momma taught me that."
"For goodness sakes, man, put on some pants, will you?" |
