Alberto, If anyone says that the past 15 months has not caused them any concern, or anxiety, I would say the are full of B.S. As Carter has said this is a "SPECULATIVE STOCK" and he told investors ( Approx Jan. 97) it would be a good idea to get your original investment out and gamble with the balance. (Not exact words) I didn't take that advice. I think most Sungold Investors broke the major rule with this stock "Diversify". One bone I have with the company is the un-realistic time frames, other than that, I am prepared to hold. But that's me. If you decide to sell, NO ONE has the right to judge you.

Alberto, I can assure you that you did not ruffle my feathers. Never the less one has to wonder why an investor with so much animosity and negativity towards the company would choose to hold onto an investment that causes him/her so much pain. Indeed it's been a trying time for all of us, to say the least, but we do have a choice. I didn't and I certainly don't intend to make a personal attack and I'm very sorry if my post sounded that way. I won't go into details, but please read your past posts and honestly try to look for anything positive that you had to say about this company. As some have stated in previous posts, any point of view is more than welcome. Since this is a free for all chat site I felt compelled to point out a number of things to you. No offence. As to an ongoing raging bull market and lost opportunity I couldn't agree more. One has to remember though, that this is the time when diversification comes into play. Many of us got accustomed to make big bucks in a short period of time, and find it difficult being a part of a normal growth of a company. Welcome to the real world. Once again I'm sorry if I offended you. Les P.S.Good to see so many responses after our posts. Good fortunes to all.

Alberto, Your comments are well founded and your right to voice yor opinion is part of the SI quality. I haven't gone to all the posts yet but I did see Sire's post and your response. Whenever an investment causes loss of sleep or significant discomfort, it is time to unload if and where possible. As for the Group, we should welcome contrary opinion - we need balance given the positions of many of us in this stock. I don't have the sheet, bur Sir John Templeton laid out 10 Rules of investing based on his 54 years in the business. That first rule was "Diversify!!! Diversify!!! Diversify!!!" The other nine have brief paragraphs after them - they apply to any investment and are excellent - I'll try and locate a copy and publish on the thread. Oh yes, my fellow Group members, we have missed some very good opportunities by being 'tied up'. No, that's not disloyalty, that's fact. And I do appreciate all members of the Group and their comments, so no offence please. We are all in this boat together and hopefully will move substantially forward. My guess is that it's going to be longer than anyone of us would want and the longer this hangs in the breeze, the greater the ultimate risk. Having said that, it's not worth dwelling on - think positive and it may very well be a 'happening'in very large terms. That's obviously the other risk. The best to all (and yes I may find posts that make this one dated as I move to the last posting). R.W. or we

Alberto: I think that many of us have been disappointed...but with what...because things have not happened as fast, or the exactly the way we want? Explain to me what it is exactly that the company has done in their day to day activities that disappoints. They have got us trading again, is it negligence on their part that we are not on the New York Stock Exchange...I doubt it...I think this was the only venue available at the time and efforts are continually being made to move us forward to electronic trading. Should they force the B.C. government and the Richmond City Council to their knees and beg Sungold to build their horse facility.... Should they tell the Government of Korea that if the Airport and necessary services are not provided immediately along with suitable and accommodating legislation they will walk away? For appropriate reasons, I won't even mention the other project... The bottom line is this...the company is doing the best it can on all fronts...Just because shareholders want things to happen NOW doesn't mean SQUAT... Remember Rome wasn't built in a day... It is your right to express your opinion...and selling your shares now is a good demonstration of same...BUT...Please make sure you come back and post messages telling all how you wished you had been confident enough in your original due diligence (when you bought your shares)when the stock is trading at $10.00 US (post split) Sir Robert
