re: "...my phantom money is on Greenberg..."

I like it! Phantom money. All right!

Other phantoms that might be considered:

phantom profit/loss statements
phantom software
phantom jobs
phantom sex
phantom bets at the race track
phantoms of the opera

just my phantom opinion,
and I've never, ever been wrong before (another one!)

> If you have the truth, being nice about it is sometimes a luxury.

Fair enough. My gripe was with Goldie's nasty and immediate set of replies to a civil, honest question. Highly defensive people really bother me - makes me wonder what they're trying to hide. Perhaps he thought that I was trying to bait him. At any rate, I won't bother with him any longer. It's not worth it.

Jacobs is clearly a raging egomaniac, and to say that he 'saved' CNC is a gross overstatement. I did not invest in AREM because of him. My position right now is a short term one (and profitable at the moment, basis is $12.40). I think that unless clear proof comes out to say that AREM management are lying through their collective teeth, a rebound up to the $15-16 range at least is in store. Downside stops are set. I'm off until Thursday, so we'll see what happens in the interim.

Mike

Which Bulgarians? Who has final authority over granting contracts and spending money, the fund, the ministry, the presidency, party officials, the World Bank? Who should we listen to and what credibility should we give to them based on their relative position in the contentious Bulgarian political scene? What effect did the election campaign have on accusations and possible lies about who paid what to whom?

This is what you have to know to operate in the Balkans. Now we have a similar confusion coming out of India. Curious to see if/how the company clears that one up.

One thing I learned in many years living in countries off the beaten track - the "truth" comes in numerous, often conflicting versions. Don't be too quick to jump at one or the other until you can verify something yourself.

Like Mike, if AREM is caught in a provable lie about sales they have booked - not expectations - I am outta here. The pickings are much better in non-tech stocks these days anyway.

This whole melodrama is starting to drag like a movie that goes on an hour too long.

PS If you have the "truth", a bunch of playground attitude is self-indulgent crap. Facts stand on their own. Only children get their rocks off on pissing matches. You have to enjoy smelling like an overflowing toilet. That's why I lengthened my Ignore list on SI, to improve the aroma. The brats don't exist on my version of SI now.
