Charles, in your reply you had this sentence: << I sure wish that you had an IM I could pull up.>> Were your thoughts about something else, I don't reconize IM and the phrase pull up as IPM or SI stuff. I'll take a guess. IM = Investment Manager and pull up, as in magic words to make the IM appear. In my option, any time that you and the others put in trying to save Black Rock dirt for IPM shareholders should be recorded like hours worked by a lawyer, and if successful, you all should be compensated later when production results in profits. Just as if the shareholders hired a group of people to save their investment, and rather than get paided up front a set amount, you gamble your time, and if the results do not pay off for the shareholders, you get no pay, but if the dirt can make money for shareholders, all of yous get a very good reward of money, something like a percentage of the profits for ten years. I'am sure something could be included into the companies charter. The shareholders here are in a no loose situation. Ofcourse you all win extra being already shareholders. Actually, maby your compensation could be that you all get a number of shares based on the hours put in. Could be an incentive for one to take some vacation time off their regular job, and put the hours into this with the understanding that each hour equals a certain number of shares in the company. If the court wants a plan in 1 or 2 weeks, then if this extra time could be a deciding factor, then to me this is the way to go. Thoughts on this I would appreciate. And in my option, the people that already have put in their own time outside of SI thread time, should together decide on the conditions for this. From my SI thread vantage point, these people are the kind that everyone wish they had. I trust all. Doug |
