Riley, Our big problem right now is that the natives are getting restless. Over and over I've seen shareholders stay optimistic for a long time, and then get discouraged before they reach the finish line. It's virtually a rule of investing. I'm more encouraged than I have been for a few months. It seems to me that the puzzle is beginning to unwind. The puzzle being, of course, how this stock has behaved so strangely in every way for so long, and has come to be the virtual epic that it is. Who is who, what are they doing, how did the stock get shorted, halted and abused. It seems a foregone conclusion that RMIL can trade whenever they want. Even the nays admit that now, and anyone who doubts it can call the SEC. This is vitally important. Why would RMIL not trade even though they could? What could possibly make them resist the pressure to trade? The answer is pretty simple: They are waiting for something. It is very comforting to know that the company is actually making a command decision - the difference between CAN'T TRADE and WON'T TRADE is a huge signal to investors. Can't trade is passive - Won't trade is active, and demonstrates strength on the part of management. Detective work by others on the thread regarding the Mork-Baker-Zapara connection is really some of the best news I've heard. A little short in the states, and a lot short in Canada. Essentially reports of a Mork controlled company off-shore provides the missing link for everyone who was wondering where all the shorts got off to. Imagine those guys making this company tanking trick work over and over, and then running up against a band of dedicated shareholders. Man they must be hating life. I admit I get a little discouraged when I see people getting sucked into the nay trap. I'll admit that the nays seem plausible at times. It takes a lot of time and dedication though for the investor to weigh ALL of the information and construct the big picture. Most people simply don't have the time and energy. I believe that most people who have been here the whole time and read the thousands and thousands of posts have seen through the nay screen of subtle inconsistencies and unanswered questions. I sure hope so anyway.
