What does it stand for? Tyro Ron-Ossorus Recks?

Try it. You will like it.

Actually I only bain trying seriously for about 3 years. We is close. It takes longer than people normally allow things to take. It's planned that way.

Actually it's easy to simulate starting a mining company. You start with 2 million dollars and you burn most of it in a wheelbarrow while waiting on the corner of a street in downtown Baghdad for a traffic light to change that is painted red. You hire 20 of your closest enemies to fling horse manure at you and call you names. Just when you think you are close to threading a maze that in fact has no outlet, a herd of weasels jump out of the bush and eat the rest of the money, and then start in on you.

All the while a group of hollywood script writers pen defamatory abuse about you and your imagined legitimate relatives and publish it in the sleaziest tabloids. A well known thief steals all your properties in court and is awarded the Nobel prize for geology and philanthropy, finding the mine you said you might be able to find in your prospectus. The exchange mistakes your name for someone else and issues you a 50 year trading ban.

You're mining, boy.

If you think the above is exaggerated, it is only slightly so. I know people who have actually been through pretty close to all of the above, only with bigger numbers.
