cooliemon's crystal ball: 1) bernard is here for 1-2 yrs 2) rescues hhla from death( becomes a legend in canada and kazakh) 3) sets up well-oiled(integrated) company 4) passes reins to someone named alshinbaev( or at least a kazakhi name 5) drops out with huge golden parachute 6) new leader has all proper kazakh connections 7) awarded more oil fields(because hhla has greater good of people in mind) 8) becomes largest producer and refiner in kazakh 9) gets bought out by lukoil for $50+/shr 10) longtime shareholders live happily ever after

Dear Razor(& Foxy): I am neither long nor short. I am out of the stock completely and monitoring the direction and events----plus I enjoy immensely the different perspectives people bring to this thread and just get pleasure in reading the different posts. Foxy covered 80% of my attitude toward the situation in post 887. (Foxy, I feel amiss addressing you as "Foxy" when you are so polite to me, but what am I to do--that is your name--no?) To those thoughts I would add: It's not just the risk in K (at $3 a share vs. $.35---to 1.50) it's the diminishment of risk in North America with stock that I feel can BEAT or EQUAL the return potential of Hurricane. IMHO, there are stocks right here that are better than HHL.A (at or around the same price---although some of them have really appreciated lately)---so why go out for hamburger when I can have steak at home--(and if you've read some of my recent posts herein I've named one or two of the companies I am high on). But these are my personal views---we each have to decide for ourselves what our comfort level is vis-a-vis risk vs. reward based on our analysis of the situation--and bet accordingly. Bill
