You are getting scary. Having difficulty remembering your past posts, other peoples posts, and your name. I have never been a mining executive, claimed to be one, wanted to be one, and having watched the gold producers mismanage a commodity based business, do not want to know any of them. Ken

d, I respect your decision and your steady approach to respond to Barrick bashing. That said I would first like to joke and fool around with a play on words, and hope you and Ron understand that its done not in anger or spite of anything else called personal attacks. Just a way to lighten the words said rather than used those more earthly ones like dumb etc. To me: ==== Reading the posts of d is like stepping on dog poop in the middle of a cold winter in Fairbanks, Alaska. Reading the posts of Ron Reecs is like stepping on dog poop in the middle of a hot humid summer in Orlando, Florida. <<... if a person is an investor ... Hatred of a company ... not the province of investors ... Investors make their decisions and move on ... Why waste time and emotion and effort on trying to influence people against a particular company?>> Yes, I agree as most all would. Good advice it is, and if done one's problems are lessened. BUT,... <<... It just does not go with the territory...>> Identifies the thread of the company where one has invested, and its ok and ok again to bad mouth the company if one understands that the actions of the company officers are anti investment share value. Now I do agree that for every ABX shareholder that feels the company is doing wrong, there are others who think the opposite, and some neutral. No problem. BUT,... to recopy your statement... <<... It just does not go with the territory...>> This thread is not about investments in a company, but how external factors, like gold companies, affect the price of gold. Barrick is named by name, but its it's hedging practices that are attacked, thru its name. I know, going in circles I am. But its the hedging that being attacked, and Barrick happens to be the "delivery system" like cigerattes are to nickotine. By the way, I invested into Samex Mining as I spoke about, not as an investment per say, but as a statement to support the GATA cause. To me it was an non hedging and a pro GATA action by me, not really an investment, where investment is to make a return in money directly from the party I contacted. Here it was my hope that the GATA cause will be helped, and indirect action by me thru Samex. Something like I sending GATA a check for $$$ to help an outcome I wish, that GATA War I. Doug
