Rand,
Yup, yup, yes yes yes. Excellent analysis of the Chairman's message. All I could come up with was "I am disgusted by the news and Dale's spin on it." You picked it apart, pointed out the absurdities, and translated the double-talk. Best of all, you suggest the credible solution: demonstrate recovery with COC ore. If they cannot do that, then this ball game is over and you, I and many others have been fleeced by the poor judgment of Maxam management. Let's hope they read your post and take heed of it. Moreover, I would suggest they look at GPGI's "little steps" approach instead of trying to take giant leaps. The giant leap was a miss. It is time for focus and realism. Enough talk of 20-30 million dollar funding requests. I am not impressed.
If Dale has ever in his life run a business before, it is not clear to me that he learned from the experience. This whole mess smacks of rank amateurism. As I said before, "Ready, Fire, Aim." It is time for clear thinking, realism, and straight talk, not the mumbo-jumbo and excuse-making that Maxam has resorted to over the past several months. Sorry for the vitriolic rambling. I guess I am not over my exasperation just yet. Clark |
