<< Chris: You seem to be trying to make Joe feel guilty for having profited on Bre-X, at the expense of those who lost their shirts. I too, feel bad for those who lost their shirts. But I do not begrudge those who made a fortune, unless they knew it was a scam>> Larry neither do I , if my posting seemed that way it was because Joe said he did DD, and isnt that why people keep screaming at Charters over Bre-x. Humility , luck , thankful is how anyone that made money on Bre-x should feel, not that they did DD it was a SCAM. Many touted Bre-x not just Charters and if you got out with your shirt on it not because you did DD, it was plain stupid luck. Think about it. If you make a fortune on a scam does that make it right?? Maybe ??? No.... it just makes it, plain stupid luck. Not in my book. Peace

For the record Mr. Brubaker I never owned a single share of Bre-X and my customers were aware of that. I correctly predicted it's price about 8 months ahead and many made money on it. Including one gentleman who made 6 million dollars who was taking my advice. Now at $20.00 anyone who asked me was told that I did not think there was any more money to be made. I am aware that in the market to do a proper due diligence would cost about $25,000 per stock. And that would give you no gaurantees. I know some very well to do newsletter writers who can only budger 10% of that in a big stock. I have spent perhaps 25% of that getting reports and phone calls etc.. Some of you people have spent thousands just on collecting information. But you lack mining expertise, knowledge of the participants and you have really as group hired no disinterested person with the skills and the access to the property that could get you a definitive answer. And if it is a scam, mangement is not going to let the guy get near the info. I would suggest since there are some very good private investigators in that area that you hire them and go at it from the angle of what they might be hiding. I know about a dozen corrupt PhD's who could be hired to fool the public on these schemes... they themselves could also be fooled by a lot of sleight of hand. You have to consider the issue..if nobody else can assay it how can any expert corroborate it? How did Runyon know o ask the price he did? Why are all these desert dirts so far apart and in different geology that is not even fault realted? Barnaby Jones. PhD.
