Hey walden, thanks for the concern. I'll try to do better. lol As an investor, I'm dumbfounded that you think predictions shouldn't change as information comes out. You have to adjust to the facts at hand. For example, if a mining company has a batch of drill holes that come up empty, you're not likely to predict much of a future for them. But if they change their drilling location, and hit bonanza numbers, do you not change your opinion? It's fluid, and it's imperative to stay abreast of changes. I have a feeling that many of the long time ZEN shareholders adhere to a form of your analysis, and that is why they ignored what the chief (and others) were saying all the while the share price drifted lower.

Message #5418 from waldenpawned at 12/7/2015 8:19:19 PM Hi, Gus. Thanks for the reply. Two things: First, a prediction is a claim as to what factual events will unfold in the future. A prediction must either come true or not - there is no gray area. Amending a prediction is a fallacy. So for you to agree with someone who by trade makes predictions, but arbitrarily amends those predictions as market forces dictate makes no sense. Second, in your post, you construct what is known as a false dilemma. In doing so you paint yourself into a corner of intellectual submission to mr chief. Why must you believe either mr allies OR mr chief? Why can't you disagree with them both? It seems to me they are both fuelled by the same bilious hate. Cheers Waldenpawned I agree Waldenpawned. When you make a prediction based upon available information and that information changes you can make new prediction but the first one was wrong. You can't claim to be right all the time if you keep changing your predictions and say you changed the original prediction based on new facts and the first prediction was not wrong it just changed. That is the twisted logic Chief uses to claim he is never wrong. He always has an excuse for a prediction being inaccurate so that makes him right somehow every time.
